swoon swoon... to my anti-valentine

Last Tuesday was fun, meet up with the girlies (Emma from Showpony, Rachael from Hannah Zakari & Tracey from T-Boo) for our burger club and then later on to swoon at Gruff Rhys (from the Super Furry Animals) at Glasgow's Oran Mor.

 It's the first time I had been at Ketchup's up West End's Ashton Lane. Inside was a sort of modern kitch 50's diner. Food was ok but soooooo over priced. There was a good selection of burgers but starting from about £8 - just for the burger!! no chips, no sides or anything for that!! If your looking for a yummy burger I think Bar 91 down Candleriggs is the best in Glasgow.

From there we toddled on down to Oran Mor for a wee bit of Gruff Rhys action :-) He is touring his new album Hotel Shampoo. 

As we were quite early we managed a bag ourselves the best swooning seats there.. on the front row! Gruff played a great set, peppered with magic sound effect drum sticks, bobble hats, good chat and signage. Check below for a clip of the magic drumsticks, I so want a set. Which has reminded me of the set of finger electric steel drums my friend has. so good for playing along (badly) to tunes and annoying people. youcan view them here .

  So the next day it was my radio show,
