(this is a blog i wrote yesterday, Thursday 25th April – i’ve only been able to upload it today …) Hullo. I’m on a train. It’s my second today. I’ve got a third to look forward to when I change at Wolverhampton, en route to Coventry – where i’m playing tonight with James ‘Jimmy’ Yorkston and Seamus ‘Shimmy’ Fogarty. We’re approaching the end of our UK tour, now – and it’s been braw fun. Certainly the most drunken …

Hullo. We’ve approached the arse of March, and it’s time for my monthly wipe. (Do you like the picture above? It’s of my face. And it’s by Sarah Tanat Jones, for Kit Records – a really interesting blog/radio site. I did an interview & mix for them which you can check out here). Hope you’re all well. I’m back up on the isle of Eigg, on a post-tour comedown from folk’n’roll excess. Spent five days on the …
Sweet Jimminy. Is that February over already? Eh?! It’s gone by in a flush. Tell you what, it’s been a fun month o’ touring. Thanks to everyone that came along to the Pictish Trail shows in (deep breath) Glasgow, Kirkcaldy, Aberdeen, Newcastle, Sheffield, St Andrews, Reading, Winchester, Bristol, Preston, the London gigs and Edinburgh. It was blimmin’ lovely seeing you all. As I said each night, it means a lot that you would spend your post-Xmas wonga on this lump …
When i rebooted this website last year, I promised myself i would do a blog update at least once a month. So here, in the last wheezing spluttering breaths of January, is the first update of 2013. It’s fair to say it’s been a busy month. It kicked off with an almighty wallop of a hangover. After my Hogmanay gig in Glasgow, i spent the remaining dregs of 2012 trying to destroy my brain with as much booze as …
It’s time for your monthly Pictish visit. So, loosen your trousers and prepare to be filled with my hot news. Last month i told you about the forthcoming release of my latest album – Secret Soundz Vol.2 – on Fence Records. OH MY GOD, I AM EXCITED. It’s out officially on January 21st 2013, and will no doubt sail to the top o’ the charts. HOWEVER – if you simply cannot wait until then, i highly advise you to make …
Hullo there, my plums. I’ve got a heaped spoon of news for you. Open wide … Firrrrst up: I can announce that the new Pictish Trail album, Secret Soundz Vol. 2 will be officially released on January 21st 2013. It’s going to be available as a digi-pak CD, download … and also as a special double 12” vinyl, in a gatefold sleeve, packaged with Secret Soundz Vol. 1 !! This is the first time SSV.1 has been made available on …
Hi, again. (or ‘hullo!’ for the first time, if you’ve not been to this site before), I’m going to try my verrrrry best to give you an update AT LEAST once a month. Now that the Great British Bake-Off telly show has finished, i should have at least 4 hours of spare time in November. LOOK. I’ve got a thick crust of news for you. First up, i’d like to thank everyone that came along to my recent …
Hullo there Trail fans. Yes, the wait is over, and the new Pictish Trail website has arrived. YESSSSSSS. Have a wee look around and enjoy my face. I’ve actually just shaved the unruly beard, so this site has inadvertently become an archive of my facial follicles. I think i might sell the resulting clump of chin moss on eBay for an outrageous sum. It’s been a fun summer of festival shows, with ill-advised late-night spicy burritos, and steaming barrels of …
