The new episode of Spotlight On focuses on the Aberdeen, Scotland-based indie-pop band The Little Kicks and its lead singer and songwriter Steven Milne.

Steven has a wide-ranging conversation with host @lawrenceperyer and talks about the emotional art of songwriting, managing a music career alongside family, how to keep band life fun, and the process behind The Little Kicks' latest album, People Need Love. It's an enlightening and entertaining chat for songwriters and music fans alike.

The Blas Festival starts tomorrow - there's a bunch of free online events (donations accepted), as well as in-person stuff, celebrating the music, song, culture and language of the Highlands.

I'm looking forward to watching Ewen Henderson's composition 'Lèirsinn' on 6 Sept, and Ceòl nam Fèis on 9 Sept.

Our album is finally out! Now you can hear every thudding threat. And there are tapes too:

pkbats.bandcamp.com/album/pk-b

Yes, it's on Spotify as well, but Bandcamp is what you need.

Play loud, feel quietly troubled.

Love this plaque on Byres Road in Glasgow just across from Tennent's Bar. If you don't know who Stewart Cruikshank was, and his role in various Scottish music scenes, he's well worth reading up about.

Braw tunes down on Seil last night in The Tigh and Truish. Always grand to meet new folk and share some music with them.

Sometimes you hear something and it’s exactly what you need at that moment. Xan Tyler’s “Miniature Oceans” is that song—Xan’s voice is a balm. Beauty and gravity form a pact in these delicate, complex song. They pay homage to Nacy & Lee, Natalie Merchant and the 60s pop renaissance of the Brill Building song writers.

I’ve been playing all my days but recently I’ve been paying more attention to their provenance and, well, some of them have been around for a long time. Here’s the earliest known version of The Rock and the Wee Pickle Tow, published as The Scottish March in Playford’s Musick’s Hand-Maid from 1663. (I’ve ignored the weird extra bar in the 2nd part).
