A date for the diary with Underground Solution and Ian Rankin

Big Announcement! Join us in two weeks for a very special guest appearance...

'Behind the Counter' Album In-Store with Ian Rankin. Saturday 23rd November from 3pm.

Celebrating the release of the 2nd installment from Rough Trade Shops 'Behind the Counter' compilation series, we're very excited to be welcoming its curator and local legend Ian Rankin to the shop to work a special one-off 'shift' here behind the counter!

“I still haunt record shops and play vinyl, and I still compose playlists, just in case the chance of working behind the counter arrives." Rankin says.

Well, after reading this quote from the sales notes for the LP, we couldn't help but offer to make this dream finally come true. Our offer was graciously accepted, so you can catch Ian playing his favourite records, signing copies of the album, and maybe serving the odd customer here! Good tunes and top musical banter are guaranteed.

Grab a pre-order for the album via the link to our website below and collect a signed copy on the day from the man himself!

We’ve been quiet lately but that’s about to change. We are fair delighted to be joining the lovely bunch at Glasgow City Heritage Trust and Inner Ear in Series Three of If Glasgow’s Walls Could Talk

Tonight sees the launch of the latest podcast series as Walking Heads research director and co-founder (that’s me, Fay) joins GCHT director Niall Murphy to co-host stories from the heart of Glasgow

I have a go at explaining how it came about…

Generally, one thing leads to another - as I discovered around 2010 when I teamed up with the other Walking Headers founders Sharon McLaughlin Alan Gibson and Dougal Perman to create a different way of exploring cities

OK, here goes. Adjusts mic, pats headphones, clears throat. “Hello and welcome to Series Three of If Glasgow’s Walls Could Talk”. Is that really me? It seems my work has taken an unexpected new direction and despite the stomach full of fluttering butterflies it’s a great thrill. How did it h...

What a lovely start to our weekend.
Birdringing volunteers George and Ben arrived at 7am and caught a sunny morning as well as a beautiful pair of chiffchaffs among many other songbirds, (They also ringed 43 Siskins! Will find a pic)
Such a treat for us.
Our investment in sunflower hearts not wasted!

George and Ben also spotted 2 kingfishers, 1 dipper, and a pair of goosanders - as well as our resident swan, moorhen and mallard families. Red squirrels didn’t seem at all put out.
When I get time I’ll add all this to blog. It’s overdue. Hoping to involve local groups in wildlife visits and discussions. We’re supporting the inspiring work of Children’s Hospices Across Scotland () again this year
