For those of you who know the shop, and have been visitors over the years, you’ll be aware of my obsession with music, so I thought I’d keep you all up to date with what I’m listening to and who I’ve been seeing live. 
Don’t be afraid to drop me an email with any good records you’ve heard, or bands you’ve seen.

as you might imagine, Christmas came early for me with the announcement of a new Bruce Springsteen album and tour in 2012. I’m hoping to get to most of the UK gigs and will no doubt see one or two of you somewhere along the way.
James Grant and Fraser Speirs were in top form at the Mugdock Festival, and also at the Spirit Aid gig last week at Oran Mor, where the Bluebells stole the night with a short but magnificent set of Lou Reed/ Velvet Underground covers. David Hayman does wonderful work for this Charity, and the gigs are always well put together.
Looking forward to Jesse Malin and Love and Money this next while, and Slow down for Horses are back at the Box on Sauchiehall St on the 8th December.
