My first blog of 2024 highlights a number of things I am looking forward to;
New/breaking Scottish bands/artists
Albums
Gigs
Festivals
Places/people to get you (and me) dancing
And a few more things besides.

Slide Away is sheer beauty. It tugs on heartstrings, makes you punch the air, sing from the top of your lungs, hug your mate & strangers, it is stunning
