This is a truly wonderful free exhibition of photos on display in Glasgow until 27 February. From the accompanying website:- Harry began his photographic career in his Glasgow home town, standing outside the Apollo, flogging gig-goers newly-developed shots from bands' Edinburgh shows the night before. Harry's impulse to guerilla lensmanship swiftly drew him to London: from 1979 to 1984 he was a staff photographer for the music weekly Sounds, providing countless front covers.

Well firstly this is now Dan Deacon and his Ensemble. Four very talented people from Baltimore including producer Chester Gwazda who played synth and keyboard. He also had ...

Desde que apareció “Foundations” tengo a Kate Nash en lo más alto de las mujeres de la música, donde se encuentra Adele y, si cuentan los difuntos, Amy Winehouse. Quizás sea demasiado, y hasta yo lo sé, pero no entiendo por qué le tomé tanto cariño (quizás porque nos mostró su corazón en ese disco). Su voz, eso sí no puede negarse, tiene una dulzura única. Junto a ella se unió Ryan Jarman, de The Cribs, para hacer una versión de la canción “Last Christmas”, creada originalmente por la agrupación...

“For me, the dream collaboration would be a toss-up between Marilyn Manson and Tom Waits,” says Kate Mullins, after breezing through an evening of feel-good classics for an audience of tea-swigging swing devotees. Well there’s a turn-up. The Puppini Sisters – also comprising Stephanie O’Brien and Marcella Puppini – are a modern equivalent of wartime boogie-woogie combo the Andrews Sisters, with a twist: they’ve been described as ‘swing punk’ and have included indie classics like ‘Panic’ by The Smiths in their re-interpretive repertoire.
