It was a beyond fantastic show, Edwyn was great, TFC were the best band Edwyns ever had. I had to wipe away tears on a couple of occasions, I'm still as high as a flippin' kite.

Read this this morning on a football website - which spurred me to join this site. (Kano is a Scotsman in Australia who is battling a serious illness. There are some events taking place in Scotland in support of him and his family.)..........

"Wee thought for Kano and his friends and family. Last night I was lucky enough to get into a packed pub in Glasgow to see a free gig by the marvellous Edwyn Collins. You just want to take a look at the recovery he has made from two near-fatal haemorrhages to see what a difference positivity and support can make. Sure, he looks and sounds a different man now. But then he sings the songs he wrote 20, 30 years ago, and it's, just for those three-minute bursts, like none of this ever happened to him. There's hope to be found all over the place, and although his life is immeasurably different, it's still a marvellous life, full of belief and hope and the things that mattered before."

I managed to capture the set apart from "Make Me Feel Again", when I accidentally pressed "stop" button and "I'm Losing Sleep" when my batteries died. A YouTube search for "geomck Edwyn Collins" will bring all of mine up.
Another YouTube poster "supermiffy" has posted "Make Me Feel Again" (apart from the outro).
I'm not sure if anyone has posted "I'm Losing Sleep", which is a shame, because it was brilliant.

Grace - I know the guy who was doing the semi-pro video shooting. His results should be pretty impressive. If you don't have his contact details, just let me know.

There is all the stuff on youtube but there was some semi-pro footage done too. The TFC lads and I will sort out the best way to disseminate it. We hope the TFC will join us in the studio before too long...

Fantastic Grace. It really would be great if this could be issued as a dvd somewhere down the line....
