I think there would be some merit in leaving Sugar be but I guess commercially it makes sense. Will do our best to get to a show.

Someone suggesting on FB a new album has been recorded.

Wednesday.

Hi @sugarcopperblue.bsky.social !

I think it’s the travelling that’s the biggest hassle, getting a bit fed up driving to and from Glasgow and not getting home til after midnight.

Definitely! A mere two nights in a row this coming week, both at the weekend - Robert Forster in Edinburgh on Friday then Jill Lorean in Glasgow the following night.

Give nights in a row out mercifully concluded this evening with a very fine Jeffrey Lewis and the Voltage show at La Belle Angele.

I mean it's been great but looking forward to some quiet nights in before Robert Forrester in Edinburgh on Friday.

The Sound of Happiness – Edwyn Collins live in Newcastle-upon-Tyne After missing out on Glasgow tickets, the trip to Newcastle to catch Edwyn on his final tour was well worth the extra distance travelled.

Starting to look like Bob’s getting the band back together again. #Sugar

Genuinely exciting to see Malcolm Middleton performing solo material again at the Hug & Pint with support from Raveloe.

Thanks, Lou!

It’s a tremendous comeback.

Has he declared war on Norway to emphasise his peace making credentials?

Four. BOS, Let's Active, YGs and ... one of the others! 😉

Because House of All covered Wet Leg?

The lengths we go to avoid Scotland matches...

Waiting for this, soundtracked by the Fall's version of Victoria.

I'm sure the album would have done better had GT been on it but there's an argument that stylistically the 3 singles were different to most of the album.

Fair play to them for sticky to their principles and only putting one single on the album but still mystified that Paris France was left off!

Love Trinity, by Life Without Buildings 1 track album

well well well :) https://errolshotwax.bandcamp.com/album/love-trinity

I obviously can’t publicly expose Caroline’s methods!

But I’m assuming the words ‘mail’ and ‘black’ were involved! 🤣

A few BlueSky pals at the show last night.

@carolinebinnie.bsky.social quite brilliantly acquired a setlist from some distance back. No wonder they call her the Setlist Queen!

Nice to see @mikec1977.bsky.social again too and meet @alanmuttley1066.bsky.social for the first time (briefly).
