salt and vinegar versus salt and sauce.

Well another day, long nights, cold. Getting ready to go up north at the weekend with a few mates, drinking beer, guitars, hillwalking, cycling etc etc

Still writing and producing music for an upcoming EP.

In edinburgh seeing a band called Broken Records last night, it was at a venue called "The Wee Red Bar", part of the Royal Art school. A great band, very melodic, a cross between Nick Cave and Fairport convention, a very unusual mix but it works, seeing them in London, while im down there in a few weeks.

I really like edinburgh, but i was saying last night to a taxi driver which i got from queen street station in Glasgow to take me home, that when you go abroad and people ask you where your from and you say Scotland, they always say edinburgh, not Glasgow and well in away i can see why. I think the capital still has bit of the old school image well in the old town anyway,becasue of the cobbled Streets, the old dark lanes , the old pubs selling the best ale in town, But Glasgow still has that as well. though. It always makes me laugh, this idea of the battle of the cities. its like back to the days of medivial and all that jazz, with exception we dont all carry sords and have big beards.
