…passing by

By Simon Varwell

Skye photosJust a quick blog, in between getting home from Skye and leaving at stupid o’clock tomorrow morning for two days’ work in Edinburgh and Dundee.

Photos from the weekend here, incidentally.

Then on Friday I am in Aberdeen for work, and the next day I head away overnight to see more relatives.

Temptingly, I discovered the other day that Ulrich Schnauss is supporting Maps at King Tut’s in Glasgow on Friday and I would love to go. I am a huge fan of Ulrich Schnauss, as I may have blogged once or twice before, and I know he rarely plays in Scotland. I know little of Maps, but Justin heartily recommended them to me a while back, and I like what I am hearing on their MySpace page as I write this.

However, Justin can’t make it as he is busy moving house, and it would be a tight overnight trip and an early morning back on Saturday. So I suppose the sensible thing to do in amongst all my travels this week would be to just stay at home. And in any case, it’s never fun going to gigs by yourself.

Unless… anyone cares to join me?

    Hadn’t heard from you for a while, so it’s nice to know that you’re still alive.

    If it weren’t for the fact that I would have to travel 2 entire days for the round trip, I would most certainly join you for the gig. Perhaps when someone actually builds a T.A.R.D.I.S. I might be able to do it {:->

    I think the gig is sold out. Mercury Music Prize and all that……..

    Just got into Maps, and would have offered to go with you. Schnauss is brilliant too. Shoegazing heaven!

    Varwell, I’ll go… except I’m stuck in a time-warped drillship off Brazil.

    Ulrich Schnauss – what a great name. Where’s he from?
    Maybe see you when you’re down again on a Sat/Sun Simon.

    Bruce – Germany. His Wikipedia entry explains more about him.

    Interesting photo – I didn’t know that Bananaman lived on Skye?
