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:-
