Another interview for STV, this time with Rich from The Remnant Kings.

And the April edition of Oot for The Broughton Spurtle.

In other news, book 4 of 12 Books in 12 Months starts today.  I blogged accordingly.

I’ve achieved quite a few things today, including the drafts of several band profiles and seeing my first ever blaxploitation movie courtesy of B-Movies at the Jekyll… Blacula really has to be seen to be believed.

In other news, I asked some local music bloggers How to Blog About Music as my second post for Ten Tracks.

And I chatted to The Edinburgh Reporter about 12 Books in 12 Months.

In another piece for the ‘Confessions of a penniless creative’ series I’ve been doing for IdeasTap, I spoke to professional dancer Fenella Kennedy about how difficult it is to get into the industry, and how dance shows on TV inadvertently support arts cuts.  Read it here.

The first of 21 profiles of the acts involved in No Colour Too Strong To Paint (a charity CD raising cash for Edinburgh’s Sick Kids Foundation) is now live on STV Local.  I spoke to singer songwriter David Winpenny,  who told me there doesn’t seem to be that much of a music scene in Haddington, so he spends his days looking for Phish from Marillion.

I also wrote a comment on the viral sensation that is Rebecca Black for IWeTwoThree.

I think I already mentioned that I am going to be doing weekly blog posts for Ten Tracks.  In this first one I interview co-founder Ed Stack about the what and the why of the site.
