When I saw that the legendary German band Tangerine Dream were playing in Glasgow I checked out some of their recent live gigs on youtube and decided I needed to get tickets, perhaps as an anti-dote to the Heavy Metal gigs I have been going to with my son recently.
After taking my son to see Tangerine Dream the previous night, this time I told him were were going to Glasgow to pick up a poster I wanted to keep as a memento for a gig I performed in at Nice’N’Sleazy which was apparently still up on the wall, at least according to Oliver Pissed, who organised the gig.
I went to the South Side of Glasgow to perform in Sonnet Youth Scratch, which is a new material night.
