Pick of the Glasgow Gigs for (the rest of) October

October 16, 2025 By neilho27@sky.com

I’m aiming to have a more structured approach to my blog moving forward, and I’m planning to introduce a variety of regular features. I’m conscious that I write a lot about gigs, but that’s often too late for some people who’ve said to me something along the lines of  “I wish I’d known about that” and the like, so one of the new blogs will be a monthly look ahead, the focus being on Glasgow, the home of the blog, at some of what I think will be the pick of the gigs for the coming month, whether I’m attending or not (that’s my get out clause – I can’t possibly cover everything).… Read the rest

Sometimes the planets align to create to what, for all intent and purpose, is a perfect night. Some knuckle dragging morons celebrate the date of this gig for what can only be described as their own brain dead reasons, however, the lucky gathering in one of Glasgow’s best venues, The Hug and Pint, had much more of a reason to celebrate in the presence of legendary riot grrrl punks, the wonderful Lungleg and the prime proponents of their unique brand of darkly humorous gore, the one and only Curdle, coming together in the presence of a fervent home crowd to create an electric atmosphere from the off. … Read the rest

Enough of the shite water puns. The band’s music deserves better than my lame attempts at humour.

I’ve recently been conversing online with Jimmy from the band, who are a bit of a Glasgow music scene supergroup, and was half joking about creating a family tree to trace all the connections.… Read the rest

Lungleg and bis live in The Classic Grand

December 11, 2022 By neilho27@sky.com

I recently went to a gig by a band with “leg” as part of their name. I left the gig feeling uninspired and despondent as I felt I’d witnessed the result of a band being hyped to the nines on the strength of one (maybe two) songs, a band that could undoubtedly play, but felt like they had no soul. (I know Manda will disagree with me on this…)

Anyway, my final (planned) gig of 2022 was headlined by a band whose name included the word “leg”, and with a support from the mighty bis, I was in no doubt before either band played a note that this was going to be a special night, there was something in the atmosphere, an air of anticipation in the venue that was palpable.… Read the rest
