1st of 3 gigs this week - although this was supposed to be 'open practice' but we're calling it a gig! Great to hear some old & new songs from @constantfollower.bsky.social in their fab new studio space in Stirling. And look at the pretty chimneys on the top of the Wolfcraig building!

TOMORROW in Stirling! How lucky are we to have this belter of a day festival? If you like your music interesting... Lord of the Isles, Quitter, Tony Morris, Dovetailed, Lullahush, Scott William Urquhart... grab a ticket! stirlingevents.org/booking/7305...

On BBC Radio 4, there's a documentary about my life and memory 'Unreliable Narrator'. I've had conflicted feelings about it. It's raw. But it ends well. Featuring a couple of new Constant Follower instrumental pieces. If you're interested in where the music comes from: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Still processing those two lovely gigs over the weekend. Tolbooth Stirling and Cottiers, it was a pleasure to be back in these special venues and play some of our songs. Thank you to everyone who came out. 📹 Kevin Linnett at Tolbooth

The end of February was marked by a gorgeous night at the Tolbooth in Stirling seeing @constantfollower.bsky.social. I'm still gathering my thoughts but it was a beautiful set from them and also from the lovely Lizabett Russu.

This evenings venue & this evening's artists. @constantfollower.bsky.social

Where would 75% of Scottish bands you like be now if late-night BBC Radio Scotland radio they say they were first played in didn’t exist? The BBC's decision today is affecting Scotland’s music tomorrow. 'One hand Washes the Other'

Creative communities form around a nucleus. A late-night BBC Radio Scotland play by Roddy Hart led to the funding for my first album. 41 people were paid for various jobs in the making. The creative economy in Scotland needs these music discovery spaces. This is what we lose. youtu.be/OeFYC8qU2yg

Is Vernon Kay worth more to the BBC than the future of Scottish music? That can’t be right? Can it? Vernon gets £394k (BBC Pay List 24/25) Mon-Fri ‘Up Late’ show £175k (BBC ITT) Roddy’s weekend show? Say same as the 'Up Late' budget £175k #bbc #bbcradioscotland #vernonkay

Please do watch. This is important for music and musicians in Scotland. www.facebook.com/share/v/1GEs...
