Radio Shambles (Part 2)

Well. Hello! You look nice! Especially you. Anyway, I’ve been played on Tom Robinson’s Fresh On The Net show again! Only a week later! If it’s possible, Tom is even kinder about my music this time, to the extent that I did blush. You can listen again for the next few days via this lovely link.

This week I was also played on Pop Goes the Revolution alongside the likes of Shooting Stansfield, Where We Lay Our Heads, Dave Hughes and the Renegade Folk Punk Band, to name but a few. You can listen to THAT show at THIS handsome wee link.

More news about other things once I’ve done them or am about to do them.

Til next time folks!

Beans on Glasgow

Hello folks! You’re looking lovely today, as are your mums! You might wonder why I’m complimenting your mothers; it’s not mother’s day yet, after all. It IS on Sunday though. Which is also the day I’m playing a gig with Beans on Toast!

You might have seen/heard me talk about this chap before. There’s a story I tell all too often, so I’m going to break with tradition and, well, not tell it again.

What I AM going to tell you is that you should bloody well come to this gig on Sunday. It’s at the 13th Note and also supporting will be Dave Hughes and Daniel versus the World. It starts at 8pm and it’s £5 on the door. That’s not too steep for a night of braw music now, is it? Mr. on Toast is an excellent singer-songwriter and his songs are immediately likeable, so I’m banking on this being more than enough to convince you to come along:

The sweetest-sounding song about cocaine I’VE ever heard. Come along on Sunday to hear more of the same great songwriting. And if you DO come, I might even stop telling that story. I mean, it was funny at first but COME ON MAN, get a GRIP, how many times? Seriously.

So I hope you’ll come along and see us play songs at you. Bring a mum!* All are welcome.

Til next time,

love Shambles x

*preferably your own mum

Quick! Go! Stuff! Now!

(Note: This post will work a lot better if you read it in the slightly frantic, hurried tone I’m writing it in. In my head. Enjoy!!)

Hi folks! You look great, I look like a fancy hobo, you know the drill. This is going to be kind of a “remember those things I mentioned?” post, by the way. LET’S GO!

Remember that review in Pornography for Cowards that I mentioned? Here it is!

Braw. I was right pleased with that. Even quoted the lyric I’m simulateously most proud/ashamed of. One more than the other. I’ll let you guess. Sorry for the image quality by the way, my scanner hates me, but I’m still on good terms with my phone camera.

Remember those gigs I mentioned? Here’s what I’ve got on the horizon in Glasgow at the moment:

• Wednesday 23rd Feb – The Shape of Folk to Come at Slouch with Shooting Stansfield and Wull Swales. Free!
• Thursday 10th March – Get Folked with the Free Candy Sessions at the Liquid Ship, with The Ballad of Alex K and The Miss’s. Free!
• Sunday 3rd April – Supporting Beans on Toast at the 13th Note, with Dave Hughes and Daniel Versus the World. £4/5

I’m also going to be playing a couple of shows with Dave Arcari in June, along with Jim Byrne. Exciting!  They are:

• Wednesday 22nd June – Sneaky Pete’s, Edinburgh. £5.
• Thursday 23rd June – Captain’s Rest, Glasgow. Not sure about price yet.

Aces!

Remember I mentioned something about a podcast? Well, on twitter anyway. And, y’know, in life? It exists now! Dude on it sounds like me and has a name that sounds like mine. Weird. Check it out here!

Lastly, remember that FUCKING HUGE CUPCAKE I never mentioned before? The one a certain lovely lady made for me? Remember I mentioned it in my head? Here it is!

Wow.

That’s all for now folks, gotta go, take care!

love Shambles
