Elvis Costello and The Imposters- Usher Hall, Edinburgh
Costello’s last visit to Edinburgh saw him deliver a two-and-a-half-hour tour de force that will be hard to forget. It’s a night that Elvis himself has good reason to remember. Having decided not to go public about a recent cancer treatment he had thrown himself back into public performance a little too soon. Edinburgh saw […]
Lee “Scratch” Perry – Summerhall, Edinburgh
The word genius is much overused in the world of music. In truth there have been no more than a handful of people that the term can accurately be applied to since the birth of rock and roll. We could spend all day arguing about who those people might be, but the fact that Lee […]

Paul Carrack- The Festival Theatre, Edinburgh
I can still remember the first time I saw Paul Carrack. It was on Top Of The Pops way back in 1974 singing How Long with his band Ace. It was their only hit but it has become something of a radio classic, the type of song that makes you stop whatever you’re doing and […]

Amy Helm – The Voodoo Rooms, Edinburgh
Tonight I shook the hand of Amy Helm; the hand that was held in the hands that held the sticks that played the drums on The Weight and The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down and helped to invent the musical genre we now now as Americana. As a lifetime fan of The Band and […]
The Classic Rock Show – The Queen’s Hall, Edinburgh
Like them or not, tribute bands are here to stay. Despite the fact that every one of the half a dozen tribute bands I have seen has been nothing short of excellent, I still harbor a slight feeling of apprehension whenever I go to see one – that sense of “not the real thing” is […]
Robert Cray – The Usher Hall, Edinburgh
It has been around eighteen months since Robert Cray came to town, touring his latest album Robert Cray & Hi Rhythm. He’s back again tonight with no new album to promote and in a much larger venue.
Steve Hackett – Royal Concert Hall, Glasgow
It has been more than 40 years since Steve Hackett recorded Wind and Wuthering, his last studio album as a member of Genesis. Since then he has done more than anyone else to keep the legacy of the prog-era Genesis alive. Oddly these efforts have gone largely unrecognised by his former band mates, although they […]
