I've been having a few problems updating things on the Jocknroll website recently. I'll endeavour to sort as best I can but I'm no expert on Dreamweaver by any manner of means. Your patience and understanding is most welcome.

Back From My Holidays - An Update
After a week in the Neuk Of Fife, I'm back and fighting fit. I'd missed the first two days of the holiday thanks to the New Taste of China who decided to poison me with their King Prawn Curry (if that's the "new" taste, I'd hate to try the old one).
In my absence the following has happened:
Camera Obscura have made a super video for "Honey In The Sun", which, in my hu8mble opinion is not only the best track on the album but the song of the year so far. View it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfDg7Vz8Ow4 The video also features the wonderful Cairn String Quartet, well, most of them!
Susan Boyle's making a few quid and good luck to her.
Jim Gellatly and Vic Galloway tied the knot at Rockness!
Biffy Clyro announce a UK tour, with tickets on sale with the usual outlets:The full list of shows are:-
Som more Proclaimers news and bits and pieces:

Scottish Radio
From www.radiotoday.co.uk:
"Several presenters on Bauer's AM stations in Scotland are thought to have lost their jobs as Bauer introduces networking on their Scottish medium wave stations from Monday.
The five stations, Clyde 2, Forth 2, Westsound, Tay AM and Northsound 2 have until recently enjoyed mostly local programming, but from Monday will be networking for 14 hours per day, leaving only local overnight and breakfast slots.
The new network will be managed by Radio Tay Station Manager Ally Ballingall who has been promoted to the newly created position of Director for AM Scotland for Bauer Media’s Big City Network.
Some presenters have been on their local stations schedule for decades, including Bill Smith who has been with Clyde 2 for 35 years and Father Monaghan who first hosted a show on Forth 2 in 1979.
Commenting on Ally's new position, Graham Bryce, Managing Director for Scotland at Bauer Media, said: “Ally is passionate about the future of Scottish radio and knows exactly what listeners want. He is simply the best person for this new role which will allow him to focus his energy and passion on the listener experience and deliver broadcasting excellence for the AM output."
Ally said: “I am really delighted to be taking up this new challenge and am committed to bringing quality local programming to listeners across Scotland. Commercial radio in the UK today is more competitive today than ever, so my vision is to create stations which will be at the heart of the local community for many years to come. We are broadening listener ship with new programmes which we are sure will delight audiences around the country.”
The changes will take place just a day before Lord Carter's report on digital Britain is due to be published, which is expected to open the gate for further networking and co-location for stations such as these."
They might aswell call the Bauer network Radio Wallpaper because wherever you go in Scotland you're going to hear the same uninspiring dated playlist-dominated bland radio that has been killing radio for years. Do the people in the Borders really want to tune into a Glasgow-based DJ? No, and neither do I.
The Scotsman's Recommends section recently published my Best 5 Scottish Radio Shows and not one of them was from local radio. We used to listen to Forth One in our office but we got fed up hearing the same songs over and over. The only show we did enjoy was the Top 10 at Ten with Grant Stott, very much the natural broadcaster. We now listen to Radio 2.
There's a reason Radio 2 is the most popular. It has the much-loved well-kent voices during the day for the masses and the speciality shows in the evenings and weekends. It has a playlist but you wouldn't really know it.
Talk 107, the music-free Edinburgh station which recently bit the dust, had been replaced for a trial by The Coast 107. The Coast 107 boasts "more tracks, less chat" and the format seems to work. Aimed at a slightly older audience, I think it has a place for people who don't want to hear self-congratulatory presenters.

Roddy Frame - Maybes Aye, Maybes No
From The Queen's Hall:
"Roddy Frame was originally scheduled for the 18th at the Queen’s Hall and that’s why it went into the Fringe programme.
The promoter has since changed the schedule and we now have Frightened Rabbit on that date.
There is still a possibility that Roddy Frame will be given another date but things are still unclear."
Fingers crossed!

The Sounds of Avalon Concert - QMU, Glasgow 6th June
The Sounds of Avalon concert will be held on the 6th June 2009 at Glasgow QMU in honour of the late, great Ann Boyle, who died in 2008 from oesophageal cancer.The bands playing will be Pop Up, Attic Lights (on stage at 10pm), Solareye and Alto Elite and tickets are a very reasonable £10. Doors open at 7pm and chucking out time is 3am.
The concert will honour Ann's memory in the best possible way by celebrating her life with music and entertainment from a diverse range of exciting acts including appearances from some high profile guests and performers. The overall aim of the concert is to raise funds for and awareness of the two designated charities, Ochre, the dedicated oesophageal cancer charity and the Balcraig Foundation's Kenya Christian Homes orphanages. In addition, there will be an auction taking place with a host of incredible items up for grabs, including jewellery from Tiffany's and festival tickets, with all proceeds going to the charities.
The concert is a lasting gift to Ann which will allow all of the people she touched to be involved in giving something back, whilst raising funds for two charities whose aims touched upon Ann's life in two very different ways.
Ann's Angels remembers all of those lost to oesophageal cancer and would like to extend a warm welcome to anyone who has been touched by this illness in any way.
