Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – Lorraine McCauley & The Borderlands
The older I get, the more I find myself listening to folk music. It’s odd to think that during my teens I grew up on a staple diet of heavy rock and punk. I think my teenage self would be horrified by my current taste in music, then again what do kids at that age […]

Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – Let’s Talk About Trees
I guess I must have a bit of a thing for side projects at the moment, but to say that these side projects are a bit of out of the ordinary would be playing it down somewhat. A couple of weeks ago I featured a drummer with a penchant for playing lo-fi pop songs and […]

Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – Ghost Pants
I always find the first line of these introductory pieces to be the hardest part, and this week was a lot harder than most. Trying to get any of you lot to pay any attention to me is difficult at the best of times, so for me to convince you to listen to the side […]

Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – Shutter
I know I must sound like a broken record sometimes, some might even say predictable, but I like to think that consistency is a positive trait. That being said, when it comes to post-rock, I really am a walking contradiction.

Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – Endor
I have spent the past hour trying to write this introduction piece because I stupidly decided that it would be easy enough to come up with something half way decent (i.e. passable) whilst also trying to entertain a screaming baby. Not that I imagine that the blurb that I write at the start of this […]

Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – I Build Collapsible Mountains
This is a real first for my Scots Way-Hay feature, never before has an artist cropped up in two different guises. I guess I’d have to have a pretty special reason to justify doing something like that, so for all of you folk over at Dear Scotland who may have missed my big announcement, here […]

Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – Woodenbox With A Fistful of Fivers
To my detriment I can be a bit presumptuous at times, which means that quite often I assume that everyone will have heard of a band based purely on the fact that I have. Hence I almost feel like I should apologise for not giving Woodenbox an airing much much sooner.

Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – Zoobizaretta
Dananananaykroyd are the undisputed champions when it comes to the title of Scotland’s most mispelt band name, and until now that position remained realtively unchallenged. That was until Zoobizaretta came onto the scene.

Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – iglue
It’s been a pretty tiring few weeks in the world of Peenko (i.e. me), so I think it’s somewhat appropriate that this weeks Scots Way-Hay post is a bit more chilled. Niall Masson, aka iglue, is a singer songwriter from the Isle of Lewis, who I first caught at this years goNorth showcase.
