I like to see former colleagues thrive, especially the decent ones. So it is with great pleasure that I note that Swimmer One have released a video to go with their new single. The group comprise Andrew Eaton – arts high heid yin at the dear old Hootsmon – and Hamish Brown (pictured left) – for a long time a fellow galley slave at the once good ship scotsman.com. They’re both damn good blokes and far too talented to be doing what they’re currently doing so I hope their very slick videos propels them and their soulful pop to musical world domination. Here’s the video and after you’ve watched why not buy their album Regional Variations? Just £7.99 on iTunes.
Mad propz (as teh young peeple say) to my old mucker Simon Pia who has landed a plum job as chief spinmeister to Wendy Alexander. He is only her third media spokesman in six months so the impressively begubbed one has been positively restrained of late.
The key fact about Simon is that he is a devoted follower of the poet-warriors in green and white who grace this earth under the name Hibernian Football Club. Quite how his experience of this once great Scottish institution brought to the brink of extinction by desperately poor leadership will relate to the Scottish Labour Party I have no idea.
