Playing an outdoor gig tonight with my klezmer band OCH VEY, 7-8pm in the wee garden behind the Brazilian crepe place at the top of Middle Meadow Walk. Means I’ll miss the Hibs match, but mon the Hibees nonetheless.

He said he would, but it might interfere with the terms of his parole.” — Daniel Finkelstein showing that some Tory peers do have a sense of humour.
