 I took photos of this up and coming Scottish band Admiral Fallow at King Tuts Glasgow.
Odd. I posted this blog last night  - and low and behold they are releasing their second album "Tree Bursts In Snow" Monday 21st and getting good reviews. I'm getting psychic now!?

Emeli Sande Photos 2012

Emily Sande headlined her return gig to Glasgow and she performed songs from her Platinum number one selling debut album, Our Version of Events, which was released in February 2012. Sandé has had two number-one UK charts singles “Read All About It” and “Next To Me” and released her debut single “Heaven” in 2011 which made No 2 in the UK Singles Chart and was also a worldwide hit. Sande has been writing songs for other singers the past years and she has also performed as a guest singer on other artist’s albums. She sings with conviction and hope. In a world full of shallow celebrities, here is a woman of some character and substance. There are not so many strong singers these days who can also write quality songs. What is so cool with Sande is that she keeps it real and old fashioned and about heart and the song.  'This is my time to show you who I am.' Quote Emeli Sande

Katie Sutherland

I took photos of Katie Sutherland last week at the Oran Mor Glasgow. She was with a band called Pearl and the Puppets who played several big support slots and had songs picked up with commercials and films. I've taken photos of Pearl since 2009 and she has the most expressive doe eyes and an engaging voice.

Jo Nesbo's 'Headhunters'

I saw Jo Nesbo's 'Headhunters' movie tonight. I thought it was a very good thriller - well written with good pacing. I recommend the film.
