I recently appeared on Nicola Meighan’s podcast and got myself into hot water about the standard of music in Sandy Bell’s pub in Edinburgh. I could have said that about all sorts of places, but of course, they don’t play for locals. It’s for visitors I guess, so I was perhaps harsh.

Been going to the gym 3 times a week for strengthening exercises and some cardio work, but I’m still unable to do 100% of the movement I had before… I’ve been advised not to run since my rotator cuff operation a year ago. I’m still working on that! x
