The first reviews of #ToBeHereSomeday, the new book I’ve written with ⁦@deaconbluemusic⁩, are in. (From ⁦@reallorraine⁩, another real (gone) Lorraine and ⁦@rickyaross⁩).

I visited @DundeeRep to catch the cast of #TheHighLife 30-odd years on from their outbound flight. My piece with Siobhan Redmond for @heraldscotland is here:

@deaconbluemusic Excellent. Superb band.

Very pleased to announce that Admiral Fallow will be joining us as special guests at Edinburgh Castle this July. 🏰 Edinburgh Castle always makes for a special night in a beautiful setting. Tickets are on sale now here: deaconblue.lnk.to/summer2026

Well worth a listen, especially for the great work by @Karin_Goodwin @FerretScot & @calumg_fpc @theglasgowbell

‘Darling, can you get the cat out of the soup.’ My interview with Pru Leith on @BBCRadioScot.

“How amazing that we’re all still alive for one thing, and able to turn up together in a rehearsal room, having intended to get there.” In today’s @heraldscotland, I meet Siobhan Redmond at rehearsals for the inbound flight of The High Life for @NTSonline, after a 30 year delay.

There’s a brilliant exhibition of the work of cartoonist Malky McCormick at Kilmarnock’s Dick Institute. Malky was everywhere in the analogue media era, especially in the 70s-90s. Visited and wrote this for @heraldscotland heraldscotland.com/life_style/259…

Right, @ScotRail @FirstBusUK, wee bit of shoosh please. simpleflying.com/united-airline…

Catching my breath after a dash to the studio with Rossco & Stuart for petty and ill-informed post-match fitba-adjacent chat. Off The Ball @BBCRadioScot Stand by!

‘I like the idea of being back there in a reduced capacity, point zero, as it were. I used to refer to Gilmorehill as Castle Greyskull, and I quite like the idea of being Skeletor rather than He-Man.’ Professor Willy Maley is undergoing chemotherapy for his metastatic cancer. He has been telling me about his big plans for his mortal remains. For @heraldscotland heraldscotland.com/news/25887468.…

Can’t wait for this - have you got your tickets? @RutherglenLTC @HillheadTennis @MaryhillTennis @PaulEnglishhack @VanillaSquare @ClydeProperty @steeltennis @JohnMcEnroe

Tonight, @thebeaconarts Book Festival, I’m hosting @delamitrinews’s Justin Currie, talking about his book The Tremolo Diaries. beaconartscentre.co.uk/events/justin-…

In today’s @Sunday_Mail, I’m talking to Still Game star @GavsterNo1 about his new role as US President John Adams - and the traumatic start the actor suffered to the new year. #buyapaper

‘They were saying £300,000. No chance. I said I’d do every bit of it that I could by myself. If people see an honest intention they’ll go with it.’ Clyde Murray built Scotland’s smallest cinema-bar himself. He’s 23. I went down to Gourock to meet him for @heraldscotland heraldscotland.com/news/25852452.…

Please RT: Come and join us at this great fundraising event it will be a laugh! John McEnroe might even appear :-))) @PaulEnglishhack @kayeadams @JudyMurray @JudithRalston @JulieBertagna @govindajeggy

In today’s @heraldscotland #BusinessHQ I’m meeting Clyde Murray, the remarkable 23 year old whose vision for a cinema bar on the banks of the lower Clyde is now a self-built reality. #buyapaper

All of us involved in the making of Stand & Deliver: The Lee Jeans Sit In are hoping as many of those involved, or their families, can be publicly recognised by National Theatre of Scotland. So please share! There’s been an amazing response since the show was announced, and the buzz is building towards the opening and Scottish tour, from April to June.

There’s a new film out based on the 2002 World Cup barney between Roy Keane and Mick McCarthy in which new light is shed on McCarthy’s actions. I spoke to screenwriter Paul Fraser about it for @Sunday_Mail dailyrecord.co.uk/news/new-film-…

In case anyone is in any doubt... theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

Back at the @PartickFilmFest tonight to host a #RiverCity Q&A double header.
