It’s a fairly straightforward plan really – Edinburgh-based music-related gibberish to clog up the internet a bit further, except with added sessions and other nonsense.

I started this little blog a few years ago just to keep track of which bands were playing at SXSW – that’s still a part of it (and from about November to the end of March what usually takes up most of my time) but I’ve started to use it as a place to write about some other bits and bobs I come across as well.

I’m based in Edinburgh, but I’m not Scottish, and so while there will probably end up being a slight bias towards the many, many amazing Scottish bands up here, that’s not what it’s all about. I’m not planning on going all Braveheart just yet…

I also co-run Off The Beaten Tracks, where we take bands into the odd little nooks and crannies in and around Edinburgh and record acoustic sessions. That’s been such huge fun, I’ve kind of got a bit addicted to video now – as a result I’m planning on doing a load more sessions for this place too, only with added electricity (if I can work out the technical bits).

Meanwhile, there’ll be the usual blog nonsense, simply because ego demands it, as per.

If you’d like to say hello, or even if you want to contribute to the site, please do, I’m pretty friendly.

Cheers,

Alex
