In an strange state of mind when I sat down to record this, I decided on an eclectic, odd and jaunty selection of music this week. Where else will you get Howard Hughes, monkeys having breakfast, sozzled dormice and plank-walking all in the same show ? Nowhere other than Three From Leith – regularly shaking you out of your comfort zone for something a little different…

Uh-huh. Once again I was short of time and said the show would be shorter than usual, and once again I somehow managed to blether on until the show ended up being the normal length. I’m incorrigable – please don’t encourage me !! Anyway, another fine selection of independent, unsigned or under-appreciated artists for your enjoyment – and a message from The Azores. Three From Leith – spreading the musical word across the world.

During the recording of the show, I realised that I’d missed TFL’s 3rd birthday which was back on the 8th September . Oh well – once you get to a certain age these things no longer seem important !! With tales of cycling derring-do and a high-rise squirrel who’s causing havoc with my nuts (ahem !), it’s another exciting episode featuring three more excellent bands for your listening pleasure.

A bad cold, recovery in time for Pedal For Scotland and the event itself meant that I wasn’t able to devote the time to a normal TFL this week, but it did give me the excuse to put out another MixTape that I’d concocted recently. This is a bit more of a rocker than the last one !

Movie55 – ‘Anyone In There’
Czeduce – ‘Smashed’
Day Out – ‘Setreseze’
Death Of A Dancer – ‘Exit Body’

Swinging from Scotland to Australia via Spain in mainland Europe, this week is a bit of an trans-continental trip. I wish we had a little of the European or Australian weather here in Scotland; still very wet and now it’s getting very cold – I saw frost on the ground last week just after 6am. It’s been a depressing non-summer, so it’s time to cheer myself (and you) up with some great new music.

It’s time for the ladies to come to the fore again this week – 5 tracks from 3 artists, and with a mainly laid-back, trip-poppy feel to the show. Thanks to everyone who’s sent comments and emails recently, and a huge thanks to those who’ve sponsored me for Pedal For Scotland so far.

Many apologies - I didn’t manage to get a show together this week after time ran away with me. I’ll be back next week, but in the meantime why not take a listen to last week’s Made In The UK Show 30, where I made an appearance ?

See you on Tuesday !
