I travelled 4 hours yesterday, for the album release gig of a friend in a community centre in Edinburgh. I’ve never done that for any of your bog standard famous musicians. But to be honest, all the gigs I’ve most enjoyed have been by people I know or have a connection with. And all have been in small venues.

Dylan and Knopfler at the SECC really never did it for me.

But Norman Lamont and The Heaven Sent and, his support Rosie Nimmo and band, both rocked it in their own ways last night at The Leith Folk Club. Such a pleasure. Great songs, wonderfully performed, by lovely people.

Definitely, A Journey Worth Taking.
