Thank you to everyone who came along to the My Darling Clementine gig last evening. It is a real joy to have such fantastic musicians come to our wee town.

It was an emotional evening of outstanding songs, old and new, from Lou & Michael. An inspirational couple for sure. Hopefully they will come back and play for us again.

Thank you Brendan, Colette & the team at the Georgian for looking after everyone.

As a small independent promoter of acts & artist that play original music that would be out with the generic mainstream that fills the Bauer Media commercial radio stations, the only airplay we could get these artists was with our publicly funded national broadcaster on shows like the Iain Anderson show, and occasionally on the afternoon arts shows, but with the changes made by former Bauer Media Director of Content for Scotland and Northern Ireland Victoria Easton Riley to BBC Radio Scotland, making it a clone of the faceless bland generic playlists stations she managed, Scotland has lost a vital platform for the arts, especially as an outlet for new music from Scottish artists. It is a cultural disaster for the arts in Scotland.

They will tell you that they are still supporting new Scottish music, but the stats and the airplay show that is simply not the case.

Despite the calls from some of the biggest names in the Scottish music industry and from the Scottish public, our publicly funded state broadcaster isn't listening to those who fund it.

Since the Iain Anderson show was taken off BBC Radio Scotland, only one act we work with has been able to get any kind of airplay on the station, and they are from Northern Ireland.

Despite all the outcry, the media exposure of the false narratives and outright lies, nothing has changed with those in charge, as they bring in more management from the commercial sector. Shame on them.

Changes are part of sweeping shake-up by Victoria Easton Riley, BBC Scotland’s new head of audio and events

Catch the amazing multi-award winning duo My Darling Clementine this Sunday evening at The Georgian Hotel. Quite simply one of the best country/americana acts anywhere in Europe.

We are big fans of the wonderful Brownbear here at 50rpm. Matthew is a great songwriter and a lovely fella (he has just became a father as well... woohoo).

He has a big gig happening on the 6th June at St Luke's in Glasgow. He deserves a full house, so get yourself along. A big bonus is that Mark Sharpe and the Bicycle Thieves are opening for him.
