I saw Pat do a trio wi Big Des Bailey & Steve Nobel when I was like twenty as well. Nobel nonchalantly dropping what I hink were matchsticks onto his turntables was summat that probably indirectly influenced my Usurper bullshit a few years later.
GLARC acknowledge ten years of their doings this weekend in Glasgow.
I’ll be playing both days, but dinnae let that put yiz off as there’ll be a cavalcade of other interesting & fun stuff n aw!

One of my first free improv gigs was Lindsay Cooper, Pat Thomas, Lol Coxhill & Bill Wells!
Apparently, when Celtic Frost came up with their band name, Tom asked his mum what she thought of it and she said it sounded like an aftershave.
Mark Ronson must be the absolute king of music for folks who dinnae actually like music.
Utter drivel by an abysmal posh boy.

Well that was my first diagnosis then it was depression then it was PTSD and ADHD. So maybe yr on the right track?
Still havnae done it. I’m due to sign the story in my BSL class at 6pm.
YR ON!!!
Depends what t'other issues are. Maybe ye can use ‘em to yr advantage? I skipped the NHS waiting list as my doc figured I had PTSD so when they tested me for that they tested me for ADHD & autism too. (I got two out o’ three plus “some autistic traits”. A rare moment of me being an overachiever. 😜)
Having ADHD is beyond annoying. I have one small piece of homework that’s due the morrow, but I just cannae motivate myself to do it and I’m well aware that I’ll rattle off a half-arsed version of it in the hour before it’s due. Until that time I’ll be thinking about it almost non-stop though.
Thanxxx! Nae idea where I got it fae. I should’ve recognised the EPMD logo!
Found this sticker lying around. Was this the name of a band? Or a record label? Or…?
And do any of youse want it?

It’s been said that I like the sound of my own voice, but this isnae actually true. Hence me taking a while to plug this episode of Into The Noise podcast. If interested to hear me flap my gums about my musical adventures then tune in here: shows.acast.com/into-the-noise

I maybe exaggerated wi my use of the word “very”. She’s a week late.
44? Pah! I’m 47!
How auld is she? How auld are you?
My mum forgot my 45th. She would’ve been 75.
Also: belated happy birthday. I did actually recall it being yr birthday as our pal is very late dropping her sprog and I thought “maybe she’ll drop it on Kirsty’s birthday”.
This morning I posted our petition to get Palantir out of our NHS and our public services.
