Just over a week to go and we hope you'll have seen Masters Show 2025 posters appearing across the university campus and wider city? 😍

Thanks to everyone - our staff, students, friends, neighbours and partners across the city and beyond - who's been shouting about it!

We hope you are as excited as we are and we can't wait to see you there. ❤️

Today I popped into Book Attic on Perth Road to play Hardship as part of a wee series of videos I'm doing. I'm playing songs in local, independent shops because I'm a local, independent musician. Book Attic is one of those old school book shops where you can rummage for hours to find a wee hidden gem.
