Good afternoon, ladies, gentlemen and those of a non-binary distinction! I’m delighted to announce to you all that I will be releasing a new single on December 9th of this year at the Leith Depot in Leith, Edinburgh. The song is called “City For Sale” and it’s all about gentrification, destruction of music and cultural spaces, cities being turned into commuter towns with nothing to offer but hotels and luxury apartments, whilst ordinary working people are forced into submission or out of the cities all together by landlords, developers, hedge-funds and lawyers. I’ve chosen to launch the single in Leith Depot, because The Depot is one such venue threatened by a new development which is threatening to engulf Leith walk in posh flats and a luxury hotel, whilst local business, music venues and the people that live and work there suffer. Full details of the launch are yet to be properly thrashed out, but rest assured: it’ll be a belter! Full kudos to @jackhinksmusic for not only performing on the single, but for producing this excellent artwork which is not only pretty to look at, but which captures the atmosphere that gentrification creates. Cheers, man.

Had a great time playing at We Shall Overcome Edinburgh on Thursday night. Thanks to everyone that came along and supported the event, thanks to Gallo Rojo and The Farting Suffragettes for their sets, thanks to Councillor Gordon Munro for his poem about saving Leith Walk, thanks to Euan for putting the event together and thanks to all the staff at Leith Depot as well!

Tonight, I play We Shall Overcome Edinburgh in the Leith Depot. Also on the bill are Gallo Rojo and The Farting Suffragettes. Free entry, but donations on the door are welcome. All proceeds go to local foodbanks. . . . Also, here’s a little throwback to my time in Dortmund at UZ Pressefest earlier this month.

My next gig is We Shall Overcome Edinburgh on Thursday with my friends, Gallo Rojo, and the The Farting Suffragettes (great name). Donations of food and toiletries at the door is welcome. 7:30pm kick off. Mon down!
