The future is live music, do you think...

Playlist
Rheostatics - Melville
Grand Funk Railroad – On Time
Marillion – Somewhere Else

Ten years ago today I took the first steps in the closure of Reptile Records...

A quiet early evening in watching “Coronation St” x 2 and “University Challenge” – with the preposterously dressed St Andrews team and a Mr Quelch from York...

Later on, out and met up with chum Gary at Bannerman’s – his best man was playing with his band, including the best man’s young Khazakstani wife...



On the way, delivered some CD orders to old OOTB mucker Jim Igoe for his new Secret CD website where he hopes to sell them.....

Gary, who also bought a CD, had advised the gig would start at 10 – in the event the group, Universal You, took to the stage at 11:20 in front of an audience of seven – soul destroying...

Had a very interesting chat with the various band members pre-gig though and they’re all very enthusiastic...

Their tuneful pop (with a Khazakstan twist of course) was well received but it remains to be seen whether a gig on a rainy Monday night in Edinburgh to a handful of punters is of any real value – you can find the band here...

Home around 12:30..

Highlight of the Day : A wee night out
