Heartbroken to hear of the passing of Brian McFie; one of my favourite people on the planet.
Offered my teenage brain nothing but encouragement and inspiration to get out and do music.
Eternal rest.

Fantastic evening with James Grant last night at The Lemon Tree, Aberdeen. Thanks to James & Fraser for a great show, to all of the team at Aberdeen Performing Arts and to all of you for being such a lovely audience.
@jamthrawn
Thank you Tracey and all who came to the Aberdeen show last night. Always enjoy The Lemon Tree - a great crowd. A good few folks travelling from afar for this one - thank you all x
A night of impeccable voice, songs we love and stories that made us chuckle. Thank you @jamthrawn for always including The Lemon Tree, Aberdeen on your tour. You and your sexy pirate were fantastic x
Ongoing health condition has decided to thwart my plans on going to see @jamthrawn tonight in Stirling @Tolbooth.
Anybody from Scottish Music Twitter/X fancy a free gig at short notice?
Went to see you with my wife some years ago. You had Fraser with you. We were chatting after the gig, I asked her what she thought. Her verbatim response: โThe pirate on the harmonica was really sexy!โ
A reminder that this one with the incredible James Grant is on Saturday at The Lemon Tree, Aberdeen.
Thereโs a small number of tickets left
