KEO play Glasgow It’s not often that someone as chatty as me is left speechless, but KEO at Glasgow’s O2 Academy managed it. I’ve been to plenty of loud gigs, but hearing a crowd sing back every lyric, from the first song to the last? That takes some doing. On a Tuesday night, may I add. Clearly nobody was saving their voice for work in the morning.

Does Max McNown ever stop making music? I’m beginning to think he’s the busiest man in country music, but you won’t catch me complaining about a new Max record. Leave On A Light is his third studio album, and he hasn’t exactly kept it brief. Seventeen songs!

Before Pacific Avenue played their first Glasgow headline show, I caught up with Dom, Ben and Jack at King Tut’s. I’d only discovered the Australian band a few months earlier, thanks to my friend Lynsey, and now I was sitting down with them in one of Glasgow’s most iconic venues. Not a bad turnaround

When the likes of Rainbow Kitten Surprise announce a one-night-only Scottish headline show, paired with support from Appalachian ‘possum rock’ favourites Cigarettes @ Sunset, it's no surprise that the queue outside Glasgow's O2 Academy was wrapped around the block long before doors opened.
