Hello, after an unfortunate hiatus, the reasons for which are probably best not gone into here, we finally have some new music on the AUK MySpace site. For your listening pleasure this month we offer Nathan Oliver, Conrad Ford, the irrepressible Todd Snider and the delightful Beccy Owen. Don't forget too, for those of you within striking distance of Leicester, Electric Dustbowl 2 on 19 September.

Hello Alastair!
It was all a bit rushed, eh? the bus back to Glasgow was leaving very soon after, but I got a lift from Linda (aka Kyle's Mom) and decided it was best to stay close to her, otherwise, I'd be left in Darvel with no where to go!

just means I must return when there will be more time!
now it's back to reality, which is never fun.

After the will-I-won't-I of the Bannerman's gig I'll definitely be at the Darvel gig as I already have a ticket.
Attic Lights were great with Camera Obscura so should be a pop-tastic night!
