Huge well done to @BethMalc who has been presented with the Citty Finlayson Scots Singer of the Year Award, sponsored by @TMSAScotland. Just amazing 👏 ✨
no he was 3 boyfriends ago, my great great boyfriend
One of funniest things I’ve ever heard was a girl explaining the difference between Glasgow & London. She’d moved to London, was dressing boldly, and no one batted an eyelid. She wore a beret in Glasgow and within 2 mins someone leaned out a passing car and shouted “BONJOUR!”
My daughter is in her jammies, teaching herself a wee tune on the piano - looping over and over again til she gets it. I’m in the kitchen having a moment at the loveliness of a Saturday morning. And already missing her, years before she leaves here to make her own home.
This week on Travelling Folk, we've got a concert set from Beth Malcolm live from Rudolstadt-Festival, featuring Heather Cartwright on guitar and Andrew Waite on accordion. ✨ Listen in 👇 bbc.in/3R20Ugj
Tune into @BBCRadioScot tonight for Travelling Folk where you'll hear my live set from Rudolstadt festival in Summer. With me are the fabulous Heather Cartwright and Andrew Waite. Listen from 9pm here: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/li…
I can’t finish Shuggie Bain because then I can’t read it any more
hey sorry i can’t make it tonight i’m hanging out disrespectfully with women in unstable places from my wild recent past
Whole car greetin’ on the way home to the airport listening to ‘Natural Disaster’ by @JosieDuncanSong 🫶
So delighted. Thank you @SAYaward ❤️
What a beautiful moment. True compassion! Folk holding the man up through is struggles and helping him over the finish line. @LewisCapaldi your people are waiting for you when your good and ready! Much peace bro!! 🙏🏻❤️

If you can listen to Bonnie Rait’s song about about being reunited with her son’s beating heart, when she meets the man who was donated it, without greetin’… open.spotify.com/track/4yYi79a3…
I have been lucky to play in a wonderful duo for most of my shows this year. Tomorrow, I’ll play a solo set in support of @ProjectSmok_ and @valtosband and I’m feeling inspired at the challenge of adapting my songs back into the format of how I first wrote them 💙
True, utter, wholesome joy to finish writing a song which was only a poem for months and months in my diary.
I queued for 50 mins to see the sculpted vegetables at the Lambeth Country Show, but it was worth it.
