It sounds great. Sounds like some laconic Arab Strap style Scots spoken word storytelling would be brilliant over the top of this. You should seriously have a word with the brilliant @tomhouston.bsky.social in case he happens to have a spare poem knocking about in need of some music!

Blimey, yes it was Ed. It was during my 15 mins of late 1970s pop stardom, so I had to disguise myself to go out and watch the other acts from out front. I thought a pair of horn rimmed glasses would do the trick, but I then got accosted by a group of Motorhead fans who thought I was Elvis Costello!

Love this tweet by (a)indiechris71: One of my favourites was when someone said 'I don't understand people who think teaching children about homosexually will turn them gay. When I was at school we learned about the Nazis, but I've never wanted to invade Poland!' x.com/gleanniucha/...
