Last night I played with @jackhinksmusic at @bbcedfest where we gave my new song, ‘Modern Man’ it’s first public outing. I really enjoy the padding and phrasing Jack adds to my songs when we play live together. The only thing I enjoy more than Jack’s musicianship is his friendship and the support he gives me. Thanks to Jack and everyone that came out to watch us play.

My head has been on fire of late for one reason and a million others. I’ve found it hard to keep on keeping on like all is fine, quite frankly. In many ways, this song has become a sort of soundtrack for me in this time. It’s a beautiful piece of music and I hope you enjoy this little snippet from yours truly. Father And Son - Yusuf / Cat Stevens.

I’ve been expecting you, Mr Bond...

I am delighted to announce that I will be releasing a new song, Modern Man, on Friday September 20th. The song is a critique of masculinity as a social construct and how the values and systems around it develop. I’ve once again had the pleasure of working with my good friend and fellow musician, @jackhinksmusic on this one. Jack recorded the track, performs on it and produced it too, as well as giving me artistic direction and advice. I really appreciate him for all his work on this record and being a good friend to me. I also want to say a big thanks to my friend, @maaybekatie for producing the artwork for me too. I’ve given a handful of people a sneak listen to this song and received nice feedback. I hope you’ll all enjoy it when I lands in 66 days time. Keep your eye out for promo plugs and be sure to tell your friends as well! Thanks for reading this post and for your support. Calum 🌛

Went on a boat today and saw some animals.

Mimeian Osen and I working on a new song together in the fading evening light. Not 100% on this one, but I’m enjoying toying with it as a working progress 💁🏻‍♂️

Swipe for a shocking, sunny surprise

After a busy, but great, week away in Germany last week with @dielinke, I’m delighted to be getting back to playing on home soil at the launch night of @leithfestival tomorrow night in the Leith Docker’s Club. It’s a real pleasure to be asked to play my first ever Leith Festival event! Please note, this event is for the sponsors and organiser of the Leith Festival and is therefore invite only. However, got to the Leith Festival page and check out what gigs they have on that you can get to and support!
