LIVE MUSIC & ME . EPISODE 12. ALISTAIR BRAIDWOOD.

For our latest episode of Live Music & Me - our guest was the cultural commentator and host of the cracking Scots Whay Hae podcast, Alistair Braidwood. Alistair is normally the one asking the questions, therefore it was really good fun to have him using the old grey matter recollecting his own musical memories! From a stellar first gig at Ibrox 1986 ( a sold out stadium gig that had lots of room down the front!) , to Grace Jones walking down a staircase at the Barrowland, to missing an early U2 gig because he had prelims the next day, Alistair was on great form. We also managed to talk about Pulp playing in a forest, and Alistair travelling hundreds of miles across Australia for a music festival ( that included one of our musical heroes Billy Bragg) - and we managed to name-check a band called Bingo Wings who supported Big Country. No, really.... And to top it all, we also pay homage to Mr Bowie. As ever, we end up covering a lot of musical ground in around 30 minutes . Big thanks to Alistair for both his time and his musical anecdotes. Enjoy, & stay safe
