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 […]

Scotland on Tour with Vic Galloway: Isobel Campbell in Spain
We have had a few technical issues with the Scotland on Tour database recently but that has now been resolved and a quick glance shows that Teenage Fanclub, Fangs, The Cinematics, Fran Healy and Isobel Campbell all have gigs abroad this week. Full dates and more from Vic on Isobel below:

Johnny Reb – Demos Reviewed
As much as I can like Frightened Rabbit, I am not sure their legacy was particularly good for Glasgow bands. The number of pale imitations I have heard in the last couple of years has been rather disheartening, in much the same way that far too many London bands seem to still be trying to […]

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 […]

Scotland on Tour with Vic Galloway: Trembling Bells in Utrecht
As Matthew so sweetly wrote the other day, Vic will be passing on his Radio 1 show to Ally McCrae soon, but he will continue to bring us the best in new music each week on Radio Scotland and his pick of Scottish bands on tour here on Dear Scotland. This week – Trembling Bells.

Vic Galloway – Legend
BBC Introducing in Scotland is going to be undergoing changes in the new year. It was announced a while ago that Ally McCrae from Detour will be taking over from Vic Galloway, who had been doing the job for something like ten years. BBC Radio 1 is aimed at a yoof market, and I suppose […]

Scotland on Tour with Vic Galloway: Idlewild in USA – CANCELLED
We prepared this article a few days ago but news has now reached us that Idlewild’s long awaited return to the US has been cancelled as Rod Jones has broken his collarbone. However, I thought we should still give a nod to one of Scotland’s best bands and hope they’ll be back in America soon.

The Scottish Enlightenment – ‘St. Thomas’ Reviewed
This, boys and girls, is every bit as awesome as I expected. Get in! Whenever you start listening to an album of which have serious expectations there is always the likelihood that it will disappoint. This one, I was careful not to over-anticipate for just that reason.

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 […]
