Chill out before you burn out!
The short walk from Edinburgh’s Waverley station toward West Maitland Street on Friday night was dreich. Rain too light to be bouncing off the street, but still enough to soak you to the skin should you choose to stay out in it too long. Lucky then that my destination, The Voodoo Rooms, only required me …
The sun was shining that Saturday night as I walked up Sauchiehall Street. I arrived at the ABC, no queue, so I eased inside and took my seat. It’s a pleasant little venue, the ABC2, perfect when there’s love in the air. On came support, “I’m called Little Fire” the evening begins, pen & notebook …
Whilst looking through some of this years photos I realised that for me, it’s been as good a year for gigs as I’ve had in some time.
Long gone are those days of at least one gig per month and a festival sprinkled in for good measure though.
Oh no, that kind of regularity dramatically reduced around 9 years ago.
And, if I’m honest, it’s probably a good thing. The old bones may still like the odd venture to the front of the crowd, but in reality the old bones are..well just that.
