Beach End - Left Side
Last one from my teenage archive of #pinbadges is this stunner of Siouxsie & the Banshees ‘Join Hands’ - bought at the ill fated gig at Aberdeen Capitol in September 1979. Maybe quite rare due to the tour being abandoned after this gig.

Just had a reminder from Concert Archives that on this day in 2008 I was at Aberdeen Music Hall to see Feeder. Seen them a couple of times and they are a fantastic live band.

Today we went to @peacockandtheworm.bsky.social to see the Jamie Reid ‘Eternal Ecstacy’ exhibition. Worthwhile visit and very impressed with the knowledgable chap giving us the lowdown on Jamie’s connection with the Peacock printmaker.

Today’s retro Dons press cutting is an absolute classic showing the ‘Ultras Aberdeen’ of the day at the joint station heading for a cup final or something. “Aberdeen - cha cha cha”. Wild days..!!

It’s Friday night and #nowplaying is the wild and wonderful Iggy Pop with ‘Lust for Life’.

It had to be done. Extremely sad news today in the music world so #nowplaying is the Stone Roses with their eponymous debut album. “I wanna be adored”.

Today from my teenage collection of #pinbadges is another political one - ‘I didn’t vote Tory’. Not sure I was even old enough to vote when I had this, but the sentiment still stands even all these years later.

Further to a previous post, today’s retro Dons press cutting is a Daily Record article about Joe Harper breaking the Aberdeen goal scoring record. Probably his forever, methinks.

Two completely contrasting gigs at the weekend. Friday at the Armadillo was ABC with the Lexicon Orchestra and Saturday was Hue & Cry at the Lemon Tree. Both fantastic gigs for different reasons. The orchestra backing for ABC was outstanding and the intimacy of Hue & Cry was brilliant.

Well it turns out that 40 years ago today I was at Aberdeen Capitol to see The Cult. What an unforgettable gig that was. Unreal.

Another retro Dons memorabilia press cutting from our old scrapbooks for you. Today is King Joey Harper in an iconic Admiral yellow away strip having just broken the Dons goalscoring record.

Another from my collection of #pinbadges today featuring The Zones - Time, Parking, Erogenous. Don’t have any of their records, but got these promo badges from my old man’s pal who had a record shop

Just watching the latest episode of Traitors. Connor Baron is number 8 and Bojan Miovski is on the bench 😎

Well, the fitba might be finished but my wee hearty is still beating like a bastard train. I need something to calm me down so #nowplaying is Stiff Little Fingers with ‘Inflammable Material’……nice and gentle 😎

Concert Archives just sent me a reminder that 14 years ago tonight I was at O2 ABC Glasgow to finally see the utterly brilliant Magazine live in concert. It was fantastic.
