1977 time for the boy...

Playlist

Cloudland Blue Quartet - 2017 Drums Bass Guitar

Cloudland Blue Quartet - 2019 Live Set Orig Backing Tracks

A day spent mostly listening to the latest recordings - the drums, bass and guitar were recorded in August 2017 in a period of intense productivity which somewhere along the line, lost impetus...

This evening, a meet uptown with the EP and we made our way to the Grassmarket, past this daring cat...

...and and enjoyed a juice in the sun...

...before taking a wee walk around the churchyard at Greyfriars...

...with its reminders of what awaits us all...

Then, back, past the museum...

...to meet up with the family to celebrate nephew Olly's 18th birthday at the new, massive, fish & chips place on Victoria St, Berties...

My cod and chips was much tastier than it looks - and was preceded by some squid...

The birthday boy and I also partook of some deep fried confectionery...

...and there was, of course, a cake of sorts...

A thumbs up from the kids...

...was followed by a walk back down Victoria St...

...and through the Grassmarket to the car which afforded them both a wee lift home...

An excellent night out - and huge thanks to Bob and Jane who surprised us all by picking up the entire tab...

Once home, we enjoyed the final of "University Challenge"...

Not surprisingly, we came third but, very surprisingly, Edinburgh won it, despite being up against the lightning buzzer and encyclopedic knowledge of the German guy and his Dutch girl Friday...

Highlight of the Day : Birthday celebrations...

Crispycat Latest Release

"I know I produce an awful lot of music, which can make it hard to keep up. But, at the end of each year since 2021, I've produced a tasty compilation ("The Originals") featuring one track from each release. So, every year, if you're only going to buy one CBQ album, make it that one!" "Twentytwentyfour: The Originals" is a 130 minute selection of tracks from the fifteen 2024 releases by Cloudland Blue Quartet. The collection is issued in anticipation of (and includes a track from) the fifteenth and final record of the year, "Twentytwentyfour", a multi disc compilation of rare and previously unreleased recordings made by CBQ throughout 2024, which is due on 31 December.

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
