Another lovely weekend enjoying sun, beer and Edinburgh with @elmcc 🌞

Good Friday greetings to you all. Spent part of my day playing around on my old fave and practicing this cover of Still Ill by The Smiths. I do hope you enjoy!

I’m so excited and delighted to announce that I’ll be travelling to Germany next month to join @dielinke on their European election campaign tour from the 19th-26th. I’ll be joining up with them in Augsburg before ending off in Potsdam a week later! I’ll be playing two gigs a day, and each day in a different town and city as the Left takes its message of socialism, justice, peace and anti-fascism round the country. Thanks to @redheadmusic_berlin for putting this together for me and to Lars at Die Linke too. Thrilled to be a part of this! Picture from my performance at Fest Der Linken in June last year 🎤🎸🚩

Here’s a little clip of what I’ve been working on this sunny spring time afternoon here in Edinburgh: a new song. This song has, like, a million verses and I have no idea how to go about naming a song that big. But, the general idea of it has having so many things you want to do with your life and time and not knowing where to start, on the one hand, and not then seeing other folk do interesting things with their life and time, then getting impatient with yourself, on the other hand. Hope you enjoy this snippet 🚶🏻‍♂️

Had a catch up with my beautiful Martin as we played this cover of Bob Dylan’s, “The Man in Me”, together. Love this song. Love this guitar.

Hello everyone! Welcome to Friday afternoon. Here’s a little Friday video for you. I’ve been revisiting some of my old songs and revisiting my old Dove as well this week. Here’s Let Me Know, the first song I ever wrote with this guitar many, many eons ago. I’m playing my first gig in what feels like forever tomorrow in 1807, Linlithgow at 9pm tomorrow night and I’m very much looking forward to it. Enjoy the weekend ahead!

It’s been two years since the Scotland Against Trump march through Edinburgh, and since this excellent display of comradeship from @roroscotho. Weather was honking, but what a day this was.

Like winning the lottery, progress is not guaranteed. Oh well 🙄🤷🏻‍♂️

Hasta Luego, Cuba. Has sido un buen amigo para Ellie y para mí 🇨🇺

¡Viva Habana! 🇨🇺
