A very quick midweek Hello. A few exciting things to announce, a couple of things to remind you about and the usual attempts to get you to renew or join. You know the score!
Let's start with a few LP reveals, updates and what not. This all has a very Jason Shaw flavour as the Fairlie Wizard has had a sizeable hand in all of them.
Those of you lucky enough to attend either Steven Lindsay at The Poetry Club or Mull Historical Society at LNFG Towers would have likely enjoyed their first introduction to the sublime talent that is Vickie Paxton. Well, many of you were asking, so let it be known.
We will bring you the brand new album in February 2027 and the album is available to pre-order now on two shades of beautiful signed vinyl.
Vickie will be performing songs at The Glad Cafe on 20th September, tickets will b available from LNFG shortly!
A couple of weeks ago we subtly alluded to the fact that Stu Kidd would have a brand new album in May 2027, we also subtly slipped this into the shop for pre-order and I guess we were far too subtle. So let me be more bold.
This is a stunning study in the art of songwriting, a couple of LNFG artists have heard the finished mix - with one proclaiming - "It's Like Fucking Harry Nillson"
I've know Stu from a far for as long as LNFG has been a thing, I first became aware of him when his band The Wellgreen played a show (somewhere) with another band I loved JR Green. Then I spotted him in Joe McAlindens "Linden" outfit. Then there was time with the BMX Bandits and then, on and off our paths would cross. I first booked Stu to play support for The Gracious Losers in 2021. In 2024 he turned up as guitarist on The Soup Dragons tour. I met him backstage - he was simply delighted. From Guitarist with The Soup Dragons to this year playing Drums and Backing Vocals with Friends Again - let that sink in ...
It was at the Friends Again after party that Stu and I finally spoke properly.
"When are you going to make an album ?" I asked!
"As soon as I can find the time and the person who can pull the ideas from my head!" He replied.
"If I had the guy and booked the space - fancy making an album for us?!
And so it is that Stu and Jason spent a few weeks in Ayrshire in the summer making - what I think will be the closest we ever to get to the majesty of Paul McCartney's Ram!
Let's circle the square shall we? The "Harry Nilson" comment was uttered by none other than the infectious ball of energy that is Charlie Clark, his album (also produced by Mr Shaw) is out in about a months time.
If Stu's album is Ram then Charlie's is Transformer!
Let's make it a tidy 4 shall we. On Saturday past Charlie shared a joint headline with young hopefuls Bogle! Their debut vinyl record will be out in the autumn.
4 Totally different LPs, 4 magical albums, all recorded in the best part of the best county in Scotland! Do yourselves a favour and grab at least one of them tonight. If you do, we will stick something nice in your parcel!
Our own Charlie and I had a long chat today concerning plans for 2027. The most exciting is our intention to really try and maximise the potential for events. Over the next couple of months we will soft launch some ideas, perhaps the most fun being our idea to have Ticket & Taco nights in partnerhsip with our new friends in the Lane. A Wednesday Night early evening gig with dinner and a drink, home by 9.30. We plan to host 52 a year but lets try for the one or two this year as a tester.
You can see how hard we work to bring you albums we think you will love, why not return the compliment and buy a membership. Some of them are stupidly inexpensive!
You can still seek 4 installments if you ask before the end of this week. We have only 11 Unobtanium Slots left for 2027.
