Think I've slipped to 4th . Time to dig out the poison-tipped brolly again!

Happy to be in 2nd at the mo, after dismal showings in previous years......getting between Bigsby & Delboy isn't easy without vaseline!

Excellent! Will celebrate by playing some Sonic Youth'n'Asia. ;-)

I'm up for this...busy few days coming up, but could meet up Thurs pm onwards.

For what it's worth, my favourites are... Roy Harper Lal Waterson Kevin Coyne Sandy Denny Nick Drake Bridget St John Tom Rapp Anne Briggs Syd Barrett Richard Thompson Loudon Wainwright

I like it, too......

Co Co Co Cool! Kirtsen ftw

Let Kirsten take over....if she cocks it up we can burn her in a ritual sacrifice....it's a win/win scenario!

Glad this is happening!

Happy to take it...tried sending a message, but your inbox must be full.

Looking forward to this a lot!

The new Roy Harper album, 'Man or myth' Thumbs up!

'Spose I should add.. The Smiths (twice) Sugarcubes Dr. Strangely Strange Terry Riley Lou Reed Dick Dale Wings Kevin Coyne Monkees

More... Tom Rapp Caravan King Crimson (early 70s) Motorhead (early 70s) Sonic Youth Pixies Throwing Muses Thin Lizzy Rory Gallagher B B King The Meters

I am getting bigger all the time (cheese'n'rowies addiction).

Think the Americans get hoodwinked by the 'Let's Go' travel guidebooks, which has this bizarre paragraph on page 495... 'In the 1970s and 80s, Scotland has played a significant role in the development of popular music, launching The Rezillos, The Skids, Average White Band, Glasgow's Orange Juice, Edinburgh's Josef K, and the record label Postcard, which favored Byrdsy guitar chimes and winsome coy-boy singers. Although mainstream rock claimed popularity during the early 90s, producing groups like The Wake, The Proclaimers and Aberdeen's Kitchen Cynics, Scottish punk rages once again. Slampt and Vesuvius record labels promote Scottish bands, including the suggestively named Yummy Fur and Lung Leg, while the quiet folk-rock of Belle and Sebastian wails throughout Edinburgh and Glasgow.' Let's maistream rawwwwwwk, guys! Bagsy the red snapper!

A local hero....you should be proud!

Fair enough. Additions to my list..... Billy Fury Rolling Stones (mid 70s) Love Bob Cooney Link Wray Dylan Only Ones Richard & Linda Thompson Kinks (70s) Barney Kessell (sp?) Les Paul Ones that got away.....Nico at Univ. Union (didn't know she played til a few days after the gig). Jeff Buckley...had the UK tour dates sticker on my copy of Grace, and considered traveling to see him, but decided I'd wait til he came up here

Seems like an argument for festival crowds being shite!

Catching up with some recent charity shop finds....so been listening to some Pavlov's Dog and Gentle Giant (found myself enjoying the latter more than I expected). Next up is a Big Jim Sullivan sitar album!

Seen loads of big name bands, but most pleased I saw these folks... Led Zeppelin (w. Bonham) The Who (with Moon/Entwistle) Velvet Underground Ivor Cutler Townes Van Zandt Anne Briggs John Martyn Slim Gaillard Lizzie Higgins Snooks Eaglin Bo Diddley Jimmy Smith Sandy Denny

He was one of my pIcks, though!

More Dusty...definitely!

Radio 4 are having an Ivor Cutler day on Saturday.

Decent start for the Dons! Forfar progressing, too. All's well....hopefully Ross County can get a result.
