The new Boulder Fields album will be released on the 27th of September. I may mention this again occasionally.

Yay! The Test Pressings for our new album arrived and they sound just like they should. I guess this means stepping out from the social media shadows and posting stuff more often. The album should be available in the autumn with a few tracks appearing before then. Details to follow. x

Travelled to the funeral for a lovely man I didn’t know very well but he’d battled with early onset Alzheimer’s for 10 years. Devastating stuff and a gorgeous family dealing with extended grief. Drove home via Cairn O’mount. I’d never driven that route before. Blizzard, lightning and stark beauty.

First band rehearsal since the new album sessions six months ago. Rusty? Oh yes. Fun? Oh yes.

Saw the very wonderful Withered Hand playing at the Queen’s Hall in Edinburgh tonight. Absolutely marvellous in so many ways. ❤️

I’m not a fan of tribute bands, but I’ll make an exception for Michael Shannon and Jason Narducy playing REM. They were very good.

A first for me, I think. A ‘breakfast’ stout, ‘Broken Dream’ from Siren Craft Brewery. Hefty at 6.5 ABV but tasty AF.

This is, by a considerable distance, the prettiest space I’ve ever recorded music in. It’s just a lovely place to be working in. With an even lovelier producer at the desk. 🙂

And very delicious and uncharacteristically healthy studio lunch served too. Countryside recording rules.

Drums are up and running. New heads fitted, snare choice made, soft beater for the bass drum. Drummers are ace. #drums #drummers

Drums are surprisingly complicated things when you point mics at them. Mics are surprisingly complicated things when you point them at drums.

Officially we start tomorrow but getting the kit set up this evening so we can hit the ground running, and drumming, tomorrow.

I’m luckier than many. As long as I don’t do too much I’m okay-ish. If I cross the line I get a real crash and have to start building up again. Frankly, it’s boring AF. Happily, I can still walk as far as several local pubs and enjoy an occasional beer. Right now, it’s West Coast IPA from Pilot.

First night of our wee tour was fab. The Old Forge in Kettering is a superb little venue: great audience, lovely people and friends who travelled a fair old distance to come along. Much fun was had. Cheerfully onwards!

Thornbridge Brewery. Excellent beer and excellent pizza.

Highly recommend the Ashford Arms in Ashford in the Water for a pint too. Just a short walk to the Thornbridge Tap Room, tomorrow’s destination.

We’re playing at the wonderful Green Note in Camden on 21st of May. It would be most excellent if you could come along. @greennote.bsky.social

If you happen to be around #kettering this week, come along to the excellent Old Forge for some indie-folk/Americana in fab surroundings.

Boulder Fields @boulderfields.bsky.social · 28/03/2025

These lovely people recently added us to their festival and we’re really looking forward to playing there. Saved us from a mid-tour hiatus and that’s an excellent thing. The whole event looks fabulous so you should come along if you possibly can.

Wasn’t sure Aly was going to be able to make all these dates so he wasn’t on the original poster… BUT HE CAN! He’s my pal, so obviously this makes me very happy. The pic in this version is us doing our thing in a local record shop.

Now with added hashtag because I’m a numpty (Scottish word but you’ll get the idea)… #BandcampFriday looms large and there are recording bills to pay for the new(ish) forthcoming EP. So it’s shameless self promotion o’clock. boulderfields.bandcamp.com/album/with-a...

Emergency pint of Pilot IPA. Got bitten by an overexcited two year old earlier today. Took about 20 minutes to wrangle an apology out of the wee bugger. Had to turn the radiator up to almost full before he cracked. All good. 🙂

I was hopeful of getting my Gibson SJ-150 back today after its refret. I’m missing it. Since nobody is going anywhere today (thanks stupid giant storm) I guess it’ll be next week now. I suppose you’ll now all be on the edge of your seats awaiting updates. No promises but I’ll see what I can do.

Yesterday, I got to play songs with some of my very favourite people, in my very favourite cafe, to some of my very favourite people. Took the little #Guild M20. All #acoustic, no mics, great coffee… and then we all went to the pub. A pretty good start to the year. #Edinburgh

#workingguitars #guitars In my occasional series, here’s another of my guitars. My first choice gigging guitar, 2003 #Gibson SJ-150. The plain sibling of the SJ-200 but I prefer the lack of frills. Today it heads off for a refret, (EVO Gold). Big old beast when I’m sitting but standing it’s a joy.

On a wild and stormy night I made the trek across town (okay, jumped on the bus for most of it, but the weather was still shit) to sample this dark delight. Budvar Dark Lager. Yes, a lager but with a distinctly stouty character. Very nice, and glad I tried it, but I still prefer the yellow stuff.

I’m hoping my weekend will be spent largely in pursuit of this. A new experience. I will report back.

Andy, can I ask another favour? if you can share this with any other Edinburgh/Leith folk I’d really appreciate it.

Boulder Fields @boulderfields.bsky.social · 10/12/2024

Bit late with this because I’m an arse, but we’re playing at this on Thursday night and it’s a very, very good cause organised by some excellent people. If you’re in or around Edinburgh come along and say hello… and make a donation.

Monday… drinking alone in a fine pub. Not even 1pm. Starting the week living the writer’s dream. Which also involves not actually writing. But these cheddar flavour crisps are fine and the Budvar even finer. If I type ten words onto my phone I’ll mark that down as a professional win.
