    When I was 15-17 I worked in the local paper shop on Skye. I was wearing my The Man Who t-shirt and this lady who came in with her husband asked me if I liked Travis as her daughter was dating a guy from the band. She promised to get me an autographed album. I was desperately waiting for her to come back into the shop. Which she did a couple of times and promised it was on the way. Never materialised though 😂 But I was so excited regardless by just feeling that six degrees of separation. That was probably more exciting than if I had got the signature, it was the best summer as my other hero Vic Reeves came into the shop and I literally gawked then shat myself. Best times.

    My big brother moved to Australia twenty years ago and now has a family of four kids. It’s hard to see them often so because once my parents and me and my other brother are gone and I want them to know how loved they were I wrote them a series of books

    It’s a kids picture book series that navigates families that are separated across the world.

    That’s funny and I definitely will. When we finally got to Moss Heights in Cardonald and we gave my Dad the reenactment he said “aye, I did notice he was smiling and amused but I just thought he’d recognised me as the manager of Portree Football Club” To which we groaned and hoped to die at such Dad jokes. I honestly can’t stress how amazing that experience was as a couple of young girls coming down from the islands. It was amazing.

    I think I do! I’m totally ignorant about records but I have at least two or three including this song that I bought off eBay circa 2001

    Sound idea. I am the publisher of a trilogy of extremely unsuccessful children’s picture books. 😂 Hope others are having more success 🙏

    Ring out the Bell. Every day, every minute, every hour. Goes without saying. The cover of The Weight was also mind blowing. Oh, and how did I nearly forget the cover of all the young dudes. Im not distracting from their own tunes which go without saying are spectacular. Good name them all night. But when they cover a classic and make it all fresh with their take on it – gives me shivers whilst also giving me a giggle that some new Travis fan thinks its an OG and doesnt realise its a cover. Would love to see them cover Geraldine by Glasvegas
