FOUND Sign To Chemikal Underground
FOUND, like many in Edinburgh, have become more than just bands whose music I enjoy, over the last couple of years they have become a group of guys I genuinely consider to be friends. Consequently, it’s not just a mere journalist’s satisfaction at being vindicated that I feel when they achieve success, such as with […]

You Have Been Watching…Local Hero
We can quibble about what is Scotland’s greatest film or who is our greatest director, but it is difficult to refute that Bill Forsyth’s run of his four ‘Scottish’ films has never been equaled. From debut That Sinking Feeling, through Gregory’s Girl and Comfort and Joy before finishing off in fine style with Local Hero, […]

You Have Been Watching… Shallow Grave
Before Trainspotting there was Shallow Grave, Scotland’s filmic John the Baptist if you like. The 1980s had been pretty barren in terms of Scottish cinema, Bill Forsyth aside. Even those films that were being made, such as the previously featured Restless Natives and Soft Top, Hard Shoulder, did not do significant box office.

Over But Not Out
“It’s over,” said the BBC commentator Liam McLeod in the fourth minute of injury time against Liechtenstein. He was referring to Barry Robson’s free kick but he could just as well have been talking about our campaign: over, before it began.

Indelible Ink : Buddha Da
