Altered Images
Clare Grogan who was in Gregory’s Girl was still a bubbly lass and her all girl band played the old classics very well.
YACHT – Broadcast
YACHT’S members are Jona Bechtolt, Claire L. Evans, and Rob Kieswetter. Their new album was made entirely using AI technology. You can hear Claire talk about it in the interview I do with her after the show.
Teeth Of The Sea
I had learned to keep an eye on the gigs at Broadcast because of the few recent ones I had attended there and so when I checked out Teeth Of The Sea I knew I had to and drag our Emma along while I’m at it.
Domiciles – Blue Arrow – 30/1/20
I enjoyed their recent gig so much I went back to see Domiciles this time at Blue Arrow in Glasgow where they had Tomorrow Syndicate as support.
Tomorrow Syndicate – Blue Arrow – 30/1/20
It was back to Blue Arrow to see Tomorrow Syndicate again. I performed a poetry gig just before but we got there in time to see the boys cook up their brand of rock’n’roll.
