And I'd really woul like to present some or every bootleg show I have, but I still seraching for a some nice player or downloader to present on this site...
And I'd just noticed today, that I have had this site for 10 years,hmmm, I had to celebrate this some way...

We'll see if Cherry Red Records will sell enough albums, maybe they will consider another realese in the future, cus there is other songs out there :) waiting to ba played...I Know.

I'm thinking about putting up some or all bootleg shows I've got... Is this a good or bad idee? At least I know some of you are interested in this kind of stuff. I just got to find a nice way to present the shows...

Finally got time to write down those Fantastic NEWS,
Armoury Show is going to Release an album, ok, Re-Release but that as good as any release in my opinion :)
Cherry Red is the label who have making this possible, they are going to make it an double cd, including the complete Waiting for the floods, and as bonus all b-sides... The only sad thing is that they didnt get the legal rights to include Love in anger and Uptown/downtown...
You can already Pre-order the album from Cherry Red... so lets do soo.
There is going to be related images and Liner notes written by Russell Webb! just that is worth alot, Wayne Sadlier and Peter Trenholm... and they are doing a gret jobb...
So this is going to be be a good year...

An eclectic, exciting, not to be missed, ‘once in a lifetime’ programme of music and arts events, workshops, master classes, an audience with… and film showings, celebrating and showcasing the illustrious career of Richard Jobson – presented by Richard and supported by special guests.
Born in West Fife in 1960, Richard Jobson has become one of Fife’s most illustrious and innovative cultural heroes. His band ‘The Skids’ was a revolutionary UK wide force in the art-punk movement in the 70’s and he has gone on to develop his creative career in many areas. He has continued over the years to build his career as a worldwide musical force to be reckoned with, while also encouraging and producing music with others, writing highly successful books, presenting some of TV’s top shows, script and screenwriting and producing and directing award winning, and influential, films.
Supported by Fife Council's Celebrating Fife 2010 Flagship Funding Programme.
