In a week ; I’ve played to a sold out Barrowlands, easily the best gig of my life and the band have a Top 40 album... how you going to top that February? 😂
Done with folk who can’t use passing places. If it’s on your side, use it. Don’t pass it and stare at me for 5 minutes shouting and balling, wondering why I’m not budging 😂
Week 5 ✅
2 stone was my target for

.We smashed that today and we’ve still got two weeks until the festival, MEGA PROUD!! 💪🏻
The journey rolls on! 🤌🏻🥰
The obsession folk have with a “normal Christmas” this year is nothing short of obscene. We’re still in a global pandemic, what harm will a quiet Christmas do, if it means saving life?
A year ago today I started to work on myself. It hasn’t been easy, especially this last while not gaining any consistency, being away all the time and how easy it is to make the wrong choices to save on time. Glad to have the time at home to focus on what matters most, me.
Officially working my notice.
Some of the best memories the last decades and the best customers anyone could ask for. Big thanks to my bosses for being so understanding and letting me pursue my dream.
New paths and shortly a new year to go and chase ❤️💪🏻
32 years of island life, it was the right time to make a jump to city life. Excited for this next chapter and my first place to call home. Here's to the next part of the story ❤️🏠🤩
So, my neighbours are big
@peat_diesel
fans and they’re always outside to welcome me home even before my parents!! Dropped off a little present through the letterbox late last night, fair to say he was delighted this morning. 👌🏻😍
Life on the road is tough, testing at the best of times but honestly when she’s lit up and the music is full tilt with a crowd singing the songs, there’s NOTHING in the world that compares.
Getting me through it all 💪🏻
As most of you know we’ve managed to raise £13k for different charities in the last two years so I’m really desperate to try take it to £20k. I’ve decided that 2023 will be the year we tackle the Ben, together with a good support crew!!
We’ll choose our charity soon 🙏🏻😍
Strange to think that this venue will now close and be replaced by a hotel, sad for Inverness and the people who frequented it. Last night was incredible and the crowd did us proud ❤️🥁🪗🎸

There’s just something about the peacefulness of a beach, the sound of the waves and a glorious evening that just calms you

Feeling the burn in more than one way now. The feeling when you reach the summit and have a 360 view of Harris, is quite remarkable.
A great day that beats sitting watching another Sunday pass 💪🏻❤️
I’m going on tour with my two best mates in a fortnight(and our sound sound guy
@weestudio
) and I really couldn’t be more stoked.
Dreams becoming reality, really time to make the most of this 🙏🏻🤠

Premiere of our second documentary for the
@peatanddiesel
journey took place tonight for family and friends. A very surreal experience watching this back and the reality of life on the road. Coming to your tv screens soon, can't wait till you all see it! 🍿🎬👏🏻
The more we go into a gig down south with the “Oh man, I don’t know how this is going to go” attitude, the more we get blown away every night.
Leeds has to be one of the best nights yet!!! 🤠🔥

Back at home, reflecting on a very surreal weekend. It’s been a rollercoaster of a year with the good and the bad, however doing what you love is essential in life and by golly... it’s getting done!!! Here’s to 2020 folks x

12 years ago & wishing I could have their job.
Pretty mad how things work out.
Every year at this time there always seems to be something bad happening. Heartbreaking to know a family will be without their son on Christmas Day, a day for family usually coming together. Rest easy Jad , you’ll be missed by many❤️
Life is too short. Koady was a cut above and became instant family with our band on tour with us, we only got a short time together but memories that will last with us forever more.
Rest easy Koady x💔
The messages & support from everyone btw, you’re all amazing ❤️!! I had been anxious, scared and really kind of terrified the last while on what was going to happen. I’m now buzzing to go and live my dream with the best guys on the planet and first and foremost be HAPPY! 🌟
Last night for us in 2021, blessed we’ve managed to get through it all in such tough times. Tonight we’re with
@the_levellers
in Cardiff!
Slainte, thanks for your support once again x
@peatanddiesel
Don’t be scared of change, especially if it’s for the better. Find the best version of you and chase them dreams you have 💫
Best few years of my life, lucky to have all I have and looking forward to the future ❤️🥁
As Connor McGregor once said.... We’re not here to take part, we’re here to take over!! Look out Glasgow, the Western Isles are on their way!! 😏
@TheBarrowlands
THATS US OFFICIALLY OVER THE LINE!!! Butt to Barra 2020 virtually completed, managed to cycle the last few miles with my band mate and good pal Innes. Delighted to say the least, bikes away to get fixed now 😂😂
Donations can still be made at
Great gig in The Slaughtered Lamb last night, London. We’re making tracks for Manchester this morning. Everybody is with us, a good start when you’re in
