Let me tell you a little story about a weekend that changed my life…

I was 18, back living at home for 6 months while I saved money to move back to Glasgow and figure out what I was going to do with my life. I came to Glasgow one Friday night to see @iancrawford_jnr band Kain opening for a Detroit garage band at Barfly, the @soledad_brothers. From the minute Ben Swank appeared and did the most spectacular line check I’ve seen to this day I knew it was going to be special. The show was even better, my tiny teenage mind was blown. Half way through the set Johnny Walker appeals for a place to stay that night, the band were touring on a shoestring budget. Ian tells me he’s between flats and asks who I’m staying with, one of my oldest friends @ac_urquhart, and with her flatmate away for the weekend, she comes to the rescue and says they can stay with her too. After the show Ian introduces us, and the 3 piece band explain there’s actually 5 of them, they have a driver and Brian’s girlfriend is with them, would that be too much trouble? ‘No problem, but someone might need to sleep on a floor.’ Turns out, their driver is a ridiculously talented blues man himself, a certain Mr David Viner from London, and Brian’s girlfriend? Only Meg White from arguably the coolest band on the planet at that time. Seeing her leap from the cover of NME to Ashley’s living room in her tartan jammies was quite something to get my head around. They had a day off tour the next day, so as Ashley goes off to work I find myself driving round Glasgow in a battered transit van with 4 of Detroits finest musicians, and what I’ll soon discover is one London’s greatest too. I try my first Bloody Mary (I’m not ashamed to admit it tasted like pasta sauce to me - in fact it still does) but more importantly as well as playing me bands I’d go on to love such as The Detroit Cobras, they played me Nuggets for the first time. I have truly never been the same since hearing it. That Christmas my parents got me the box set and I began to fall down the rabbit hole to where I am today.

Joy unbounded to be back playing with the full @mrdavidviner band line-up 18 years after we last played together, supporting The White Stripes on their last European tour. Didn’t realise how very much I had missed smelly rehearsal studios.

Thank you to the outrageously sunny @redroosterfestivals for getting our show back on the road, and @revbenswank for coming all the way from Nashville. Love you three-glasses Cheeseman and Viner even if you do insist on wearing pool sliders with socks. And thank you for the dreamy vibes @swedish_rich .

Music can be a mean mistress at times but when she smiles on you there is nothing better on earth. If you have even the tiniest shred of it in you, be sure to cherish it.
