Queuing for pizza and this inebriated reprobate is all up in my face slevering and chatting nonsense. Partner gives me car keys so I can get away. Guy b-lines it towards me and follows me across the road to the car. I’m quicker and lock myself in.

Nicola Sturgeon passed her driving test aged 53. Her schedule and work life had stood in the way of her doing something as normal as learning to drive. Is it really THAT unimaginable that her and her husband had become so distant and estranged that they didn’t “socialise” or go on holiday? If you ask me, this is a tragic state of affairs.

I really need to shift 60 last tickets for my Fringe show to almost break even. Admittedly, I’ve only been ramping up the promo in the last while, as I’ve been in the US on tour. I’m a Scottish folksinger, performing self-penned, trad ballads and translations in the Scots language. If that sounds appealing to you, I’ve got a show on Fri 21 and Sun 23. If you’d get your tix in advance, that would go a long way. ❤️ Or even a wee repost of this post. 🎟️ Tickets →

The Scots Language is an Official Language of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Not to be confused with the Celtic language of Gaelic, Scots is a West Germanic language. There are many dialects of the Scots language including Doric in the North East, Orcadian, Shetland and Glaswegian. Do you think Love Story works in Scots?

Happy Hallowe’en 🍁🎃 “There’s drink an’ daffin’, sang an’ dance And ploys and kisses get their chance, But Lachlan, man, the place I see Is whaur the auld kist used tae be And the lichts o’ Hallowe’en in France!” Violet Jacob (1863-1946) wrote the poem Hallowe’en after the death of her son at the Battle of the Somme. It was published in 1921 in her book ‘Bonnie Joann, and other poems’. Jim Reid set the poem to music. The poem is written from the perspective of a bothy man in the North East, looking around the bothy and lamenting the absence of his fellow worker who had died.

Did this Scottish folksong inspire Bob Dylan? Dylan is believed to have taken inspiration from “Tramps and Hawkers” when he wrote “I Pity the Poor Immigrant,” which appeared on his 1967 album John Wesley Harding.
