Up early...

...and almost first at breakfast - too early in fact for the omelette lady...

Packed and set...

We left the hotel at 8:15 and drove up to the airport...

...arriving in good time for our flight home...

Once again, no window seat, so pics snatched as and when...

Back in Edinburgh around 1:45 local time...

...and the beast was on a couple of buses home...

...to prep for this evening...

Into town earlier than required in order to secure a lamp for the music stand...

To the venue around 6:15...

...for the sound check...

Opening proceedings were Scott Renton and his band the Heartbreak Diet, with a nice set of originals and covers...

...before "Cloudland Blue Quartet featuring the Capital Models" took to the stage around 9:15 to celebrate 40 years of the CMs, with a set of covers by Lou Reed, the Velvets, Eno, Bowie, Ferry, Roxy Music and Simon & Garfunkel...

The scene from the stage...

Pics of our performance...

From the Exec Producer and Lynn's POV...

...from Ian Sclater...

...and nice clear ones from Stu's chum...

Quasi punk quartet, Kurtz, were last on with a superb energetic set of mostly covers by the likes of Iggy, Stooges, Sonic Youth, Damned and Dead Kennedys...

Turned out drummer Johnny knew people in both the other bands - small world...

Home just after midnight after a long but very enjoyable day...

These glasses though, used on the night, are away the trip...

Meanwhile, Anne's picture has progressed in my absence...

That's it...

Highlight of the Day : Performing...

PS Stu's chum also made this video of our last song...

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!
