I was at a not too busy Barrowlands on Friday night to watch the splendid Guillemots. Note I didn’t say listen to! That’s my moan here. This was probably the worst audience I have been part of … can I call them fans? A crowd?

Glasgow gigs can be notoriously bad for people talking through the music, this was the worst ever. A combination of the venue and of the band crossing over from the uber cool undercover indie seen to the mainstream charts, drew a crowd of music lovers, fans and randoms…

As a band they were immense. Fyfe Dangerfield (the best name ever for a frontman) is a superb musician with an awesome voice. I became captivated (like most [males]) with Arista during her performance of the there’s something strange about the way you say you’re sorry over and over again… song!

I’m also trying to listen to the new Death Cab album. So far it’s formed the backdrop to endless national assessment marking, but it seems to be very Death Cab with much more less single friendly sounds…
