Kathryn Joseph and Lomond Campbell

Just very quickly, a reminder that I’d love you to join me for A Kick Up The Arts - live - at at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe, I’ll be at The Stand, with Barbara Dickson on August 20th, Grant Stott on August 21st, and Del Amitri’s Justin Currie on August 23rd - and I’ll be announcing more fab special guests soon…

Before that, the awesome Val McDermid will join me at The Portobello Bookshop on July 9th… There are ticket links to all of those shows here.

Right now though, we’re in Glasgow’s glorious record cafe, Some Great Reward for a chat with Kathryn Joseph about her stunning fourth album, We Were Made Prey,  which is out today on Mogwai’s Rock Action label.

As with Kathryn’s previous album - for you who are the wronged - and its attendant remix EP, the new record’s made in cahoots with singer, songwriter, producer and synth wizard Ziggy “Lomond” Campbell, who runs a stunning residential studio near Fort William, The Lengths - although, as we’ll hear, their musical (dis)harmony actually goes back decades…

Let’s just say - the campaign to find and hear the early bootlegs starts right here…
