Notes from the Road (21) - Jack Savoretti @ The BBC

While we were in Glasgow, I got a text out of the blue from my great friend Debbie who just happened to have tickets for a gig and was looking for a +1. This is such a Debbie thing and reminded me of the daft things the two of us used to get up to when I was in Glasgow. The many gigs, TITPs, nights out and all the subsequent hangovers we shared! The gig in question was for a guy called Jack Savoretti, who I'd never heard of. I'm blaming living in NZ for the last eight years. So, it was dinner and drinks (well, drinks for me, as Debbie was nine months pregnant) then off down to the BBC studios at the quayside to be part of the studio audience for a live Radio Scotland broadcast. Like I said before, this was such a typically wonderful Debbie thing to do. Here we are, being all cool like we're still in our twenties!

It was great to go and hang out with my old mate and see some live music in Glasgow again. It's certainly been a while.
