David Byrne in Edinburgh tonight was the most visually stunning show I think I’ve seen since The Fall collaborated with Michael Clark’s ballet company at the festival in 1988. Marching musicians, creative dancers/vocalists and the great man himself, strong and thoughtful.

Good to see some traditions survive. Copies of The Herald on sale in the cloisters at Glasgow Uni so you can see your kid’s name in print. Well, as long as they haven’t ticked the no publicity box.

No marquees in our day (38 years ago!). At a very hot Glasgow Uni for the graduation of our youngest.

Back in Boston, where this theme is developing quite nicely.

Becoming slightly obsessed with the historic buildings on the east side of Providence.

A small act of kindness by Archie Gemmill, impressed Italian in-laws and the hunt for tickets. Another punt for my @heraldscotland.bsky.social piece on following Scotland at the World Cup finals which appeared in the print edition today.

My pic from the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard, St. Etienne, as Scotland lined up for their last match at a World Cup finals, on 23 June 1998. At full-time, upset kids were being consoled by their parents. Now those young fans may well be planning a football odyssey with their own children next summer.

You only have until Saturday to catch the impressive Paula Rego Visions of English Literature exhibition at the Dick Institute in Kilmarnock. Features her take on classic nursery rhymes and Peter Pan, amongst others.

So, if you’re going to Dublin to research your dissertation on Irish politics, of course I’ll come.

Can’t wait to read this from the hugely talented @danielgraywriter.bsky.social This Sunday I’ll be having a pub lunch in one of my favourite Lanarkshire towns (Strathaven) with some relatives I haven’t seen for a while and Ethel the Pug.

First gig of the year, and @lloydcole.bsky.social was in fine form and fine voice in Glasgow last night as part of Celtic Connections.

Lloyd Cole on stage at the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow. January 2025.
