Blog: Dulmarnock

After typing up the blog on Saturday morning I strode manfully across central Glasgow to the 13th Note, to meet with Chris The Manager Of The Plimptons, The Plimptons themselves, and Mr Brendan O'Hare, LEGEND of ROCK and also producer of the new Plimptons album. It was very exciting to meet him, though I had to resist the urge to say ANYTHING about Teenage Fanclub, lest it be "Grand Prix is one of my favourite albums EVER!" I'm sure he wouldn't have KILLED me or anything, I just thought it might be rude.

After some delicious healthy GUINESS and a really rather nice Spicy Veggie Burger we got the train our to DULMARNOCK, where Mr O'Hare's studio was and where the Plimptons were putting the finishing touches to their new album. It was only on the way home that I realised that the gig the night before was supposed to have been the launch party for said album!

Martin and Brendan spent most of the rest of the afternoon in the mixing room, TWEAKING, whilst me, Adam, Rowan and Neil sat around having a very pleasant time chatting, reading the Obligatory Studio Copy Of Viz (the whole place was a LOT like Mr Kev Reverb's studio, it was COSY) or the Amusing Posters (see above). I also recorded my spots for Last Night From Glasgow, and this is what I played:

The Peterborough All-Saints' Wide Game Team (Group B)

The Lesson Of The Smiths

It Only Works Because You're Here

Sod It, Let's Get Pissed

World Without Love

Hey Hey 16K

Easily Impressed

World Without Love sneaked in there because I'd mentioned the night before that I'd learned it for the wedding, and decided maybe it'd be inappropriate... anyway, you should be able to download load one of these every evening this week, with the first one available NOW! It seems to have come out all right, and if you can't wait for MORE then you could always watch The Plimptons live in session about 2 feet to my left.

We had a very pleasant afternoon but eventually it had to draw to a close. Adam and I got the train back into town and said our farewells, with me determined NOT to let it be two years before I returned, and then I got the bus to the airport, hung around for a while, marvelled once again at how stupid the "security measures" are, and flew back home to London.

I must say I had an absolutely BRILLIANT time up there - Glasgow is GRATE!
