Here it is (I say ‘it’, as I haven’t decided on the thing’s sex yet, nor has it been christened – all suggestions for a name are welcome !).
Sadly, it was blowing a gale so my little dream of going for an afternoon spin had to be shelved. Bloody Scottish weather !
As well as oodles of birthday wishes from bands, podcasting friends and listeners, I received a lovely surprise from Santa Dog – my own set of badges ! Rowena and the gang are absolute stars – they’ll go brilliantly on my new bag. Thanks to all for their good wishes – I’ve had a brilliant day.
A small selection of pics from the Amplifio gig at Cabaret Voltaire on the 18th Feb 2006 can be found here.

I’ve already recorded Three From Leith Show 27, so I talked about going to the Amplifico gig on it. That means that by the time you hear it, I’ll have been. Confused ? I’m beginning to feel a bit queasy at all this time-shifting that podcasting allows – perhaps I should be the next Dr Who ? Anyway, a great night and I finally had the pleasure of meeting Mark from the tartanpodcast and his lovely wife Gail. I’ll talk more about it in TFL28 – and I’m sure Mark will do so in the next tartanpodcast too. Check both out if you want to hear how things went.
The picture above shows Mark just after putting on his legendary ‘brass neck’ !

I received the following newsflash from Santa Dog tonight:
“Hellooo!
Santa Dog’s new EP, Belle de Jour, is on its way. As you are privy to certain advance information about the dogs we’ll let you into a secret. The first pressing is going to be a limited edition of just 100 copies. Each copy will be individually numbered with hand-printed sleeves and artwork by the band.
The EP will be officially released in March but for this first numbered and hand-printed pressing we are inviting pre-orders. Everyone who pre-orders in February will also have their name printed on the sleeve notes. CDs will be shipped in March. Details below. We expect these limited editions to go sharpish so don’t delay!
Love from Santa Dog x

I’ve had a preview of Rosa and you’ll NOT be disappointed. It’s brilliant ! Listen out for it on next week’s show.
Better get your skates on if you want one of the rare, limited edition copies !
Not only is Rowena from Santa Dog a fabulous singer and musician, she’s also an incredibly talent artist. She’s designed the flyers / posters for the April 14th gig and I’m blown away…. I’m going to frame one as it’s truly a work of art.
If anyone would like to put up a few small posters around their places of work / local library / supermarket etc, give me a shout and I’ll send a few out when the printed ones arrive here at TFL Towers.
This is the promo for the Three from Leith showcase gig on Friday, April 14th 2006.
Feel free to grab it and use it in your own show to help spread the word and give the three bands a night to remember !
In the last show, I hinted that something was up and asked you to keep your diary free for Friday 14th April. Well, I can now reveal that – courtesy of the fantastic Santa Dog – the lineup has been finalised for the first ever Three From Leith showcase gig !!
