After a bit of a gig drought, went to see Black Country New Road in Dundee. Hard to pigeon hole their music. Jazz-Folk? Impressed by the audience singing along, they've built an impressive following

Sparkling water from Loch Ness where the sparkle is created by the motion of the monster. In other words.... it's flat!

First gig of the year, and a good one. Moving Pictures playing in Church Dundee. Very impressive to see the Bass player has now acquired an electric violin and they've added Losing It to the repertoire. A very emotional song.

Found another book to sell. Illustrated nursery rhymes from 1885. It's beautiful, but more people are interested in my fancy Hobbit themed letter opener on eBay. That's brand power I guess. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/18689553...

Best gig of the year this year (out of eleven) was the Rush tribute band Moving Pictures. They played an amazing set including the whole of the Exit Stage Left album, including, to impress those who know the album, including the drum solo. Incredible.

Toyah and Fripp were a great covers band last night. There seemed to be a lot of love for both of them. Last time I saw them it was definitely a Toyah audience. This time more mixed

Gig tonight was excellent and included a feat I've never seen before. In the first set they played one of their better known songs backwards. They recorded it and played the video backwards to open the second set. Very impressed.

Minor pilgrimage to see the Harry Clarke window in Kelvingrove today. I must have a trip to Dublin someday.

At the beach today. I've never seen such a high tide at St Andrews. No beach visible and the waves eroding the dunes
