In my brash and callow youth there were only two people I thought should be let near a Burns song, Dick Gaughan and Dougie Maclean. I might have mellowed slightly but I did have a point youtu.be/x8u8YN02WoQ?...

I used to renew this book every fortnight from Ayr Library spending hours as a teenager pouring over the words and pictures. The words as much as anything, how he talked about himself, about painting. He was the first artist that made me think about art in a different way. So sad that he’s gone.

‘The shocking knife attack in north Belfast was a barbaric act, but claims that this brand of brutality is entirely “alien” to Northern Ireland represent a severe case of historical amnesia.’ [1/n]

Barbaric knife crime didn’t arrive in Belfast with a refugee... it’s been here for decades

The Spanish Galleass ‘La Girona’ was wrecked off the Antrim coast in 1588. Only nine survived out of an estimated 13,00. Among the dead were countless slaves from Central and South America. A ring was found made from conquistador gold ‘No tengo mas que dar te’ - ‘I have nothing more to give thee’

Your trust in the world, in people, disappears. You can’t trust because you can lose…….. everything is broken. Drawing confronts the world but hides from it at the same time.

Heavy Structures in a Landscape Setting - is a title lifted shamelessly from a painting by a William McCance and at the minute exists only as a series of drawings printed and glued to form a clumsy approximation of a book.

Lovely to be able to do the artwork for this: OTHER LIKE ME is the next single by Bandit Country and is out on the 17th of April on all streaming services. BBC Introducing gave a sneak peak and you can listen via BBC Radio Sounds. There’s a pre-save via the link in the band’s bio.

Cheers Grant, another excuse (as if I needed one) to post the original lyric sheet I got if Chalkie, with misspellings, crossings out, fingerprints an'all. The closest thing I have to a religious relic.
