Very happy to be playing on the Friday at the @bellesglasgow Glasgow Weekender. It’ll be our first show in over seven years!

Out today! Four for a Boy from @alisoneales (also of @ButcherBoyMusic). From opener Minuet (a minimalist love song that pits its protagonists against zombies and nanobots) to closer Play Along (a plaintive reimagining of the Carpenters’ Superstar), listen li.sten.to/alison-eales-f…

Check out the lovely new EP 'Four for a Boy' by Alison Eales on our blog bit.ly/3IgzzSa Alison's debut LP 'Mox Nox' deservedly garnered rave reviews. The EP is released on March 8th @alisoneales @ButcherBoyMusic @Madrigirls @MusicNewsScot @fikarecordings @scottishmusic

We recorded this demo of Every Other Saturday in the summer of 2009 but when I hear it now I always think of Christmas. Footage from the Spark family archives; Merry Christmas everyone x m.youtube.com/watch?v=I259an…

@DanTheobalds1 @petepaphides Wow, that means so much to us Dan! Thank you, and I hope your recovery is going well x

@petepaphides Its a brilliant album. My introduction to them. Got me through chemo and inspired me back into the studio aged 45.

There are few things of which I'm more proud than working closely with @ButcherBoyMusic on the release of their album You Had A Kind Face. This al fresco performance of the album by the band on a summer's day much like today is really special too. youtube.com/watch?v=VxmEmb…

Twenty years ago, on the hottest day of 2003.

@petepaphides @sohoradio Hi Pete, the synth on Synthstrument by Lou Barlow is probably my favourite sound ever. It’s forlorn, euphoric and hopeful all at once. I was so moved I emailed LB and asked what it was - a Korg Bass synth apparently. m.youtube.com/watch?v=E2auRl…

Well, partly thanks to your ace replies, I've spent much of today pondering this. So let's turn it into a radio show. What's the most beautiful synth sound you've heard on a record? And why do you love it so much? We'll play as many as we can – @sohoradio , Mon 8pm.

Letter to my sister, May 1981. Quite an important document this one, establishing as it does my own and the band’s impressive (Strae Cats, Shake and Steven) rockabilly credentials.

We've a guest blog from Alison Eales ahead of the launch of her gorgeous new album Mox Nox.Check it out here bit.ly/3LDokX6 @alisoneales @Nicola_Meighan @VicGalloway @Monorail_Music @PeterAlanRoss @scottishmusic @AndrewDivine @halinarifai @ButcherBoyMusic @bellesglasgow

Mox Nox is the title track from @alisoneales's debut solo LP - you might already know her as part of @ButcherBoyMusic. Out today, Mox Nox is the final single - the LP is out in a couple of weeks on the 24th of March. Watch the video & pre-order the vinyl: li.sten.to/alisoneales-mo…

@AliceOnTheWaves @needlemythology @BasinRockRecs @RiotActMedia @carloscipa @_allanmcconnell @TrainRoom Thanks so much Alice!

Facebook told me that today it was 11 years and one day since me & @devotchik went to the fantastic @ButcherBoyMusic gig at Cecil Sharp House! One & only time I've seen them live! @Rabbhaw @basilatwork

@IGetSpellbound @devotchik @Rabbhaw @basilatwork One of the best shows we played, and what an incredible venue. A Wicker Man around every corner! Thank you for the lovely memory, @IGetSpellbound x

@sdamienconnor Goodness, thank you Stephen!x

@ButcherBoyMusic Out of the approximately 8000 songs on my iPod I Know Who You Could be is unquestionably one of the best

We played our first “real” show 18 years ago today at the much-missed RAFA Club in Glasgow. Nigel Baillie played trumpet with us on I Know Who You Could Be - I’ll track that tape down!
