Down the Tiny Steps

Good bit of coverage in the current issue of The List magazine.

I am no.74 in ‘The Hot 100′ of 2011

The Hot 100 being defined by them as “the definitive list of Scottish creative talent. From fashion designers to performance artists, everyone who has made a sizeable splash in 2011 has a place in this countdown. It’s for people who’ve created a buzz, but it’s also about great work, and there’s enough artistic achievement here to convince even the strongest cynic of Scotland’s creative clout.”

Its been a great year for me so this is a nice wee clipping for the scrapbook. Even if they did accidentally use a photo of my pal grnr instead of me…

Also, great reviews of Hair Of The Dog and the launch show for it.

ALBUM REVIEW: “Common’s debut Master of None yields a just-as-good set of muso-buddy remixes…”

LAUNCH REVIEW: “Triumphant show from the skilled electronica musician and friends…”

Big ta to The List for having me along to play at the offical party last week.

And for this:

On monday, I went in to do a live session for Vic Galloway’s show on Radio Scotland.

L-R: grnr (trumpeteer) Greg Waddell (tromboner) Jonnie Common (dietitian) Vic Galloway (Tazmanian devil)

As Peter was away on tour with The Kills, and with the remix album having just come out, I decided to make it a bit of a remix-themed set.

Committing to bespoke work at little notice. That’s the way uh-huh uh-huh etc.

Listen again on the BBC iplayer

Vic’s Monday shows also get repeated on the Friday, so my ghost will be riding the airwaves again on the 9th at 10pm.

Big ta to Vic for having me in, and his wonderful team for looking after us.
