Don’t you be pickin’ on the Guy guy, Paulie.
Good on ya, Guy. Quite electic tastes for a 40-something. 🙂
Well into his 40s!
I see I missed the Jack Rose tribute. Nevermind
We need to get some more tickets sorted…
And a blog’s a blog, too!
Keep on bloggin’!

I’ve only just found your site Guy and I’m bloody impressed by both the amount of gigs you go to, and by the quality of the writing. Keep it up, me laddo!

Thank you, kind sir…. keep on reading 🙂
P.S. Mary Epworth is HOT!
Steady boy!
Ye see yon birkie ca’d a lord
Wha struts an’ stares an’ a’ that
Tho’ hundreds worship at his word
A gig’s a gig for a’ that…
With apologies to Rabbie.

LOL – that was one of my grandmother’s favourite quotes. She must have learned it when she lived on Islay between the ages of 4 and about 12… the family are still remembered at the Bunnahabhain distillery as her father was the bonded warehouseman 🙂
hi there, I wanted to send you an email, drop me a line as to the best way, love the blog!
Hi there,
I’ve dropped you a line ‘offblog’ 🙂
Are you only doing this for a year – i like your blog?
Hi Matt, Glad you like it 🙂 I might do it for more than a year, but I’m commitment-phobic, so who knows 🙂
Hi, I’m Allan and I work in the Press dept. for an independent label in South London. I noticed you featured one of our artists on your site and wanted to say hello! We’ve got some great artists playing London fairly soon, so if you’d like to get a guestlist spot so you can have a look/listen and maybe feature some stuff on your blog please get in touch. x
Guy, nice site. I tried to do something similar in the late 90’s, though struggled with the writing.
Thanks, Andrew. Yes, it’s a bit of a commitment, but I’m enjoying it so far. I’ll see if I feel the same by the end of the year 🙂
Nice site Guy and favourited 🙂
Hello Guy. Just wanted to say how much I’ve enjoyed your blog. Will you be continuing it this year? If not, can you be found anywhere else on the web?
Thanks, Helene 🙂 I decided just to do the blog for a year and it ended up taking too much time as it was, so no, that’s it. But I have got a new (occasional) blog The Riddles Of Aldhelm, which will include a lot of music stuff. Will you be Memory Banding at the Slaughtered Lamb next week?
