Del amitri - Barrowland
An absolutely superb gig from Justin and the band. The support simply superb in Trash Can Sinatra's, fuller review to follow but hard to pick a fault:
Steve Earle and The Dukes - Perth Concert Hall

Bruce Springsteen - Springsteen on Broadway Performance from 2018 Tony A...
Guess this why I am going.
Eric Paslay
Eric Paslay is an amazing emerging talent. To my regret had too much beers before his gig in Broadcast but really thought he was superb.
https://youtu.be/Y3iU12LEmKg
https://youtu.be/ofcVaq7CrEY
When he comes back I am sure everyone who was there will be back again!

Kiefer Sutherland, Queens Hall Edinburgh
I admit I bought the tickets on a whim given that I love almost all his acting - but this was a sensational concert. Band was incredible and Kiefer was giving it all his moves. Great songs, couple great covers and an audience that was loving it.
I think this is roughly the setlist:
The eagle eyed will notice the Lone Justice and Tom Petty covers. Ways To Be Wicked an absolute treat for me.
Thanks to Julie for coming along and making it an amazing night.

Jessica Lynn - Crazy Idea - Official Music Video
Saw Jessica last week and although she wasn't my thing she is really energetic - really like this track.
The Rolling Stones and Richard Ashcroft - Murrayfield
A bit late in reviewing but I went to the Stones at Murrayfield. Wasn't sure what to expect and certainly wasn't expecting anything new....which is more or less what we were treated to.
Firstly Richard Ashcroft as a support act was a superb addition to the bill and as expected was absolutely superb - great band and a short but excellent set:

Set list as follows:
The Rolling Stones did more or less what you would expect but Jaggers energy was incredible. Highlights were many but Gimme Shelter in particular amazing.
The sound was excellent and a great stage set up.
I wont bother listing the set - no surprises in it really but a good day out.

Darden Smith - Two Dollar Novels
I hadn't heard this track until the Boo and Darden gig last week. I thought it was very much worth sharing.

Boo Hewerdine and Darden Smith - Glad Cafe, Glasgow
Was really delighted to be able to get along to the Boo Hewerdine and Darden Smith show in Glasgow recently. The Glad Café is a very small venue and I was pleased to see the show had sold out.
Like most I was there to here the duet tracks from the Evidence album which was released in 1996. A great lp and a little bit of a cult album I guess.
Unfortunately I cannot locate a setlist or any videos but the highlights were all there. Standouts were Little Victories, Evidence, Reminds Me a Little of You, Graceland, Patience of Angels.
A great night from 2 outstanding songwriters.

Bryan Ferry Glasgow
Interesting set list from Bryan Ferry - very light on "hits" and some real Roxy obscure material. Probably on the back of the debut album re-release. Really good concert and the band were superb. I would expect more hits at the Bandstand later this year if you happen to be going.

Eric Paslay Broadcast Friday 6 July
I don't know anything about him but he comes highly recommended. Playing in Broadcast, Glasgow and I am hoping for another strong Americana show. Here is the wiki blurb:
Eric Thomas Paslay (born January 29, 1983, Abilene, Texas, United States) is an American country music singer and songwriter. He has released one album for EMI Nashville, which contains the hit singles "Friday Night", "Song About a Girl", and "She Don't Love You". In addition to these, Paslay has written several hit singles for other artists, and has collaborated with Amy Grant, Dierks Bentley, Charles Kelley, among others.
And a couple of clips:

Courtney Marie Andrews - May Your Kindness Remain
Courtney Marie Andrews has become a strong favourite of mine and I have been lucky enough to see her a few times.
This is a 4th lp and is getting outstanding reviews. I am really looking forward to hearing it properly. I know she is touring again this year so if you get the chance I would go and see her.
"It’s one of the elements – along with the organ and Mark Howard’s spacious but focused production – that gives the album an unusual intensity. May Your Kindness Remain sounds forever on the brink of eruption – no shucks-we-were-drinking-beer-in-your-truck here. Andrews has said the theme of the album is coming to terms with depression, which you can sense without even listening to the lyrics.
Amid the misery, though, there is a search for moments of levity. This House is a long way from Madness’s house or Graham Nash’s house – “Empty cans on the counter / And the laundry’s never done,” Andrews sings, detailing the shortcomings of the surroundings, even as she insists “this house ain’t much of a house, but it’s a home”. May Your Kindness Remain confirms Andrews’ rise. It’s a brilliant record, proof that old forms can still be timeless."
