I took delivery of some of these this morning. They’ll be available on my merch desk on the September dates. So bring lots of pennies with you. It’ll be the last chance.

Nice to see he’s still going strong. Just like his namesake band in Glasgow (that I was once part of).

A photo of me with an advance copy of Andrew Wild’s latest opus, part two of his history of what became known as Neo-prog (Cough! Splutter! ). Reading through it so far it gives a useful context to what went on and when. What a long, strange trip it’s been!

I was, of course, in Abel Ganz up till I joined the Aberdonians. Here’s the first cassette album cover. As it appears on the wall in my home office/studio. The artwork was done by my mate at University, Nigel Whittaker.
