    How I got THE SHIVERS – PART THREE

    By • Sep 26th, 2011 • Category: Bandstands

    So, I give up on the idea of releasing the album and instead invite the band over to the UK to play a Fence Records’ Hallowe’en show – which we hold in a small church hall, in Anstruther, Fife. It’s a two-day bash, and on the first night Keith turns up wearing a pair of [...]

    GAME OVER?

    By • May 16th, 2011 • Category: Bandstands

    So. There goes another Home Game. Three days of sheer unadulterated sugary-cider flavoured merriment, followed by a weeklong ice-cream headache of a hangover; catching up with ol’ friends, and making new ones; dancing like an eejit to Fence favourites, and blissfully head bobbing along to new acts; an influx of 650 folk into the town [...]


    Blown Away (Game)

    By • Oct 12th, 2010 • Category: Bandstands

    I’ve been avoiding this bandstand blog. Since the Away Game weekend came to an end i’ve been a bit of a mess. On the Monday we waved a tearful goodbye to the last of the Away Gamers making their way back to Arisaig and Mallaig on the ferries, and then had some dinner to celebrate [...]


    In Rooms

    By • Aug 7th, 2010 • Category: Bandstands

    Hello now. As the Leuchars-to-Kings-Cross Express crawls it’s way down the unshaven neck of mainland Great Britain, I find myself at a loss.   I’ve checked my Facebook at least twelve times in the past twenty minutes.  I’ve just checked it again.  My “fun”-sized pack of Mini-Cheddars has managed to squander itself to mere crumbs, and [...]

    Tonsil Time Travel

    By • Apr 10th, 2010 • Category: Bandstands

    See this photo? This is me.  Two weeks ago. Fresh out of surgery, and souped up to the eyeballs on morphine. 60 minutes before this photo was taken I was lying back, completely anesthetised, mouth clamped open, with my swollen angry tonsils being sliced from my throat.  Ugh. Let’s not stay there just now.  Instead, [...]
