PAWS – Reviewed
There were so many shite puns I nearly used for this title (PAWSome!, PAWS; the BAWS! and other abominations) but I showed some unusual restraint in the end, which will surprise some. It certainly surprised me. This lot surprised me too, I have to confess.

You Have Been Watching…(TV Special)…Down Among The Big Boys
Peter McDougall is a bit of a forgotten man these days, but, for a few years in the 1970s, he pretty much was modern Scottish drama.

Smith had been winning awards and a growing readership since her […]

FOUND – ‘Factorycraft’ Reviewed
This is going to be a really difficult record for me to review sensibly. This is not for the usual reasons – that I happen to consider the band to be good friends, although I do – but for a more mundane one: I actually know this music and these songs so well that sitting […]
