@leader-music.bsky.social Variety of great live music within the last 4 days - Wishbone Ash @emmaswiftsings.bsky.social /Robyn Hitchcock and Betty Soo/ James McMurtry
@leader-music.bsky.social Wont be tuning in tomorrow. Off to Glasgow to see @emmaswiftsings.bsky.social on Tuesday and James McMurtry on Wednesday. Photo of tonight’s gig of Wishbone Ash in Galashiels.
@leader-music.bsky.social Hi Richard. Just listening to the playlist on Tune-In. Is the track listing a new development?
@leader-music.bsky.social Apologies Richard. Won’t be tuning in tonight as picking up Sheena in Edinburgh. May get back for the latter stages of the two hours 🤞
whatever magic Trump once had as a public speaker to non-cult audiences is long gone
@ordinaryelephant.bsky.social Thanks for a fantastic night at the Eastgate Peebles. Best of luck with the rest of the tour.
@leader-music.bsky.social Don’t you know that at my age I should be tucked up in bed by now but Bruce Springsteen followed by Jason Isbell followed by Roseanne Cash !with help from Elvis Costello and Kris Kristofferson followed by Courtney Marie Andrews and I got to keep listening to the playlist
@leader-music.bsky.social Only 15 minutes into the playlist and we’ve had Track Dogs, Jackson Browne, Robert Vincent and now the Boss. Great stuff.
Richard. Have to check out in about 10 minutes. Short show for me tonight but it has been terrific. “See” y’all next week.
@leader-music.bsky.social greetings from Edinburgh with Rodney Crowell. What a gig!
@renkadima.bsky.social Hi Mark. Spent a great 2 nights in Glasgow taking in Courtney Marie Andrews. Have tickets for James McMurtry on 30/09 and thought it would be great if we could get another gig on 29/09. @emmaswiftsings.bsky.social and @robynhitchcock.bsky.social playing Glasgow on 29/09 👏
@leader-music.bsky.social Evening Richard. Evening all. Greetings from St. Luke’s in Glasgow with Courtney Marie Andrews
I was in Sarah Kane's very violent and darkly funny Phaedra's Love in '96, and pretty much every night, people would get up and strut out of the Gate Theatre. It was funny. Why the hell had they queued up for tickets? Literally, everyone knew it was in yer face stuff.
Went with my daughters to see Oh Mary at the theatre and it was a HOOT and some people around us walked out in a bit of a huff, and two women said on the say out, "Well I didn't laugh ONCE did you?" and that was even more of a hoot.
@leader-music.bsky.social On bus from Peebles to Edinburgh when notification of this came through. Presume he will have other UK dates. Don’t miss out.
Been waiting a long time for this absolute gem by @emmaswiftsings.bsky.social to arrive but was totally worth it
@leader-music.bsky.social Haven’t gotten our Christmas tree yet but have the Christmas bears in the music room (sounds very posh but really isn’t!)
Been going to gigs for longer than I care to remember but there is something special about great music in a small venue. Thank you @macartsvenue.bsky.social for a great gig with Toby Lee.

@leader-music.bsky.social Sorry for late arrival. Still remembering a great gig from Gillian Welch and David Rawlings (what a guitarist) in Glasgow last week. Evening Richard. Evening all.
@leader-music.bsky.social Hi Richard. What a night in Edinburgh with Chuck Prophet and the Cumbia Shoes. If you get the opportunity to see them, take it
@renkadima.bsky.social Hi Mark. Just back from holidays and still no sign of @emmaswiftsings.bsky.social album. If it is on sale at the gig tonight (preferably vinyl but cd if not) could I take you up on your offer and buy one for me? If you succeed be sure to let me know how much I owe you. Bob
@renkadima.bsky.social Hi Mark. Have you got @emmaswiftsings.bsky.social new album? I ordered it from Union Music and they say they are having trouble sourcing it
@leader-music.bsky.social Anthony Toner in Glasgow on Sunday and Ward Thomas the following week in Edinburgh. In October have Chuck Prophet in Edinburgh and Gillian Welch in Glasgow on consecutive nights!
@leader-music.bsky.social 22.45 and leaving the playlist on a high - Bruce and Devils and Dust
@leader-music.bsky.social Well said, Richard. Great show and great way to close the show. Will listen to some/all playlist but for now. Goodnight Richard. Goodnight everyone.
@leader-music.bsky.social Tickets obtained for the Karen Jonas Peebles gig - Eastgate Theatre is a 10 minute walk for me!
