When I first started Glasgow Podcart I did so to help expose new music not only from Scotland, but also from around the world. The focus was on the unsigned and grass roots and the other objective was to try and network as many different people as possible. Whether a musician, a photographer, an artist [...]
Wickerman: Team Solus – A Genuine Thank You
Monday, July 25th, 2011
Last year was Glasgow Podcart and Detour’s first invitation to Wickerman. Chay Woodman of The Solus Tent had expressed his love of Podcart and over email we decided to plan something. As everyone knows I am a huge fan of Detour and their limitless creativity and huge balls, so they were the perfect team to [...]
Gig Booking….A Rant.
Tuesday, July 12th, 2011
Gig booking was something that I looked at as being as simple as toasting bread. My initial idea was that you just selected your date, picked a band, advertise and then bingo, it all worked out. This may be one of the biggest misconceptions that I have had since working in music circles.

T Break: T Bitch
Friday, May 13th, 2011
I have been dipping in and out of Pop Cop and Radar Scotsman sites and the comments underneath the articles about the T Break stage all day and at 6.13pm, I can’t hold it in anymore.

Now, there are probably a handful of readers slapping their heads in horror, or perhaps clutching [...]
It’s Almost Time- I want to see you sliding down the walls on March 25th
Monday, March 14th, 2011
I feel like a rant, but that’d be far too predictable. Quite often when I get the chance to write for the first time in a while it is a natural step to venture down an avenue of frustration venting about whichever recent events have done my head right in. Those of you that know [...]
Crag Carrick: Talk To Me Goose (Part 2)
Sunday, March 13th, 2011
So yesterday I turned the grand old age of 29, a day not many people really look forward to but at least it’s not as bad as the grand ole’ 30. If I said I had a nice enough wee day, I’d probably be lying. In the morning I had some excellent presents [...]
Crag Carrick: Talk To Me Goose
Friday, February 18th, 2011
Crag Carrick is a great friend of Podcart and one of the people that have inspired us to keep doing what we are doing. Recently married he and his other half Holly decided to up and leave Glasgow for the other side of the world. He is now writing a blog about his time out [...]
