Shame on the UK Government for giving him the honour of a state visit.

A photo of Donald Trump sits on top of news headlines. They include outlining his convictions for fraud and sexual abuse, his plans to ethnically cleanse Gaza, the abuse of detainees in his secret prison, 12 million people losing health coverage under his budget, and his failure on climate change. The bottom reads "not welcome".

Homeward bound after a fantastic time on the Screen Music Program 2025. I especially loved having the opportunity to record a rescore for the love scene from Call Me By Your Name with these beautiful musicians.

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the repeal of Section 28/2A in Scotland. I'm proud to have played a part, as Chair of the West of Scotland Scrap the Section group, in that campaign for repeal. This is a brilliant record - well done @ourstoryscotland.bsky.social and Ross Whyte. Have a listen...

Section 28 is an incredibly shameful part of our recent history, and yet, 25 years after its repeal we are seeing its harmful rhetoric being employed again.

These two releases are as much a warning as they are a celebration of progress, and the people who make that progress happen. 🏳️‍🌈

‘Songs From the Back of the Bus’ was originally commissioned by ⁠Shaper/Caper⁠ for their 2024 'Queer & Now' exhibition with support from @ourstoryscotland.bsky.social. It is a reworking of Brian Souter’s 'Keep the Clause' campaign billboards, which promoted his privately-funded 2000 referendum.

I created the video for ‘Dìlse’ using archival footage, which I got with kind permission from Jim Hubbard (co-founder of the ACT UP Oral History Project) and commissioned animation by Sam Myers.
