GeneralMusic, films, clubs, gigs, books, photography, talking utter utter nonsense about music and films. I play piano, guitar and bass and have vague aspirations of DJing. I love travelling too but am generally too skint to do so! One day I will learn to drive, but don't hold your breath.

Hi, I'm Heather. I write about music for a newspaper.

Otherwise, general nonsense applies: gigs, friends, clubs, lots of coffee and music related stuff. Am generally found lurking behind a pint at some gig or other.

I include shameless plugs for friends:
Katie Carmichael is an amazing artist, so check her stuff out.

And the boy's band is good. Buy this:

Hey girl! How's the weather over there? I just want to let you know that i'm coming to the UK in late May/early June to play bass with Kevin Montgomery and Tommy Allsup. Tommy played guitar with Buddy Holly, and is THE guy that flipped the coin with Ritchie Valens. We play a few shows in Scotland, but we don't have a Glasgow show. We do play very near there though at a place called Irvine on Friday, June 6th. I hope you can make it? We won't be doing my material, but it is a really special show, and Tommy is a true rock'n'roll legend. Anyway, take care and hope to see you there. DW
