I DROP Margaret off, take the car to the garage for a service then walk into town to find some coffee and wifi. After a few hours work and a coffee I walk up to Geoge Square and sit in the sunshine and do a little more work before dropping into the Scottish Music...

SOME last minute promo for tonight’s show then I print out the ticket list before heading to the studio to pack the gear. We’re taking our own PA so there’s a load of stuff to fit in the car. Margaret sorts the merch and we’re off. A stop in...
