Hogmanay is upon us and the New Year rolls in and as promised here is the final section of our Top 70 (72 actually) of the year, numbers 10-1. The chart has been compiled on the basis of how many views there have been of the original review that we posted as opposed to total viewers which is how the monthly Top 30 charts are produced. We felt that this would give a better representation of coverage and for the first time ever we have included the number of views alongside each songs title.

Massive congratulations to who's single Go Away broke all records for the stations fb page including fastest track ever to go silver and then gold and fastest track to hit 10,000 views. It does also of course hold the record for the most number of views on our fb page ever.

Whilst the final chart of the year has been published we couldn't resist one final review. It is a song from an absolute Scottish Icon so a massive thankyou to Catherine at CJC promotions for bringing us the latest single from ex Bay City Roller Eric Faulkner.

Best known as the guitarist/songwriter of The Bay City Rollers, has reinvented himself as a thoughtful and passionate solo artist. While fans still remember the tartan-era hits that made him a global star, Eric’s solo work reveals a
deeper, more reflective musician — one who has weathered life’s storms and emerged with songs full of substance and soul.
His music now blends folk, acoustic rock, and protest song traditions, drawing inspiration from personal experience, political awareness, and a strong sense of humanity. With a rich voice and expressive guitar playing, Eric connects with
audiences on an intimate level, sharing not just melodies, but messages.
Far from resting on past fame, Faulkner has carved a meaningful path in the contemporary folk/ acoustic music scene. His
performances are honest, often poignant, and always engaging, with his Scottish humour never too far from the surface — a true artist who continues to evolve and inspire. His musical journey began with him playing viola in The Edinburgh Schools Orchestra. At thirteen years old he formed his first high school band, Kip, whose line up included the now famous actor, Kenny Stott. This period and his early Bay City Roller days feature in the first volume of his autobiography, “An Edinburgh Lad”, (available on BandCamp). In recent years Faulkner has performed at acoustic festivals, Arts Centres and more intimate shows in community centres,
libraries and singer-songwriter circles. Sitting in for an AWOL Jake Burns he guitared for Pauline Black's "3 Men and Black". During a show at Guilfest Festival hestilled the crowd with an impromptu acoustic version of the Pink Floyd song, "See Emily Play", in tribute to the recentlydeceased Syd Barrett. Then after the set he wandered into the UNISON Trade Union tent to play a set of his own work/protestsongs – beliefs and ethics that he inherited from his father's left-wing views. Since then he has performed at various Trade Union fundraiser/ awareness gigs.
He continued as a solo artist and appeared at the Glastonbury Festival as a protest singer where, at the end of his set, it was arranged for him to introduce the British politician Tony Benn on the Left Field Stage under the banner "Another World Is
Possible".
In 2015 Faulkner contracted Viral Encephalitis which almost killed him and left him with Post- Encephalitic Syndrome. He has since shown support for Encephalitis charities. Recovery has been slow, but he is now working again with the release of
the single "A Joyful Peaceful Christmas", being the first of many planned releases. Faulkner will be releasing an album in the New Year.
...so what of the single; well if it had to be described in two words, they would be heartfelt and emotional. Its one of those that will resonate with the times, it captures the moment, the hopes and fears of this year and provides the aspiration for peace perfectly. It could sit aside Do They Know It's Christmas nicely, a classic song of hope, beautifully written and produced. Its a 10/10 from us.

Well chuffed, got tickets today for Jon Pardi's show in Glasgow next May for Lynda and me.

However, here is a cautionary tale;

I saw the show advertised yesterday and google'd it. Ticketmaster was saying that there was a couple of presales and the tickets would go on public sale on Friday. Viagogo also popped they had tickets already for sale, I suspect they came from people who sold them on from the O2 priority sale that happened 24 hours earlier. The gig is at The O2 Academy so there's not a huge amount of tickets available, those that were available from Viagogo were an incredible £132.00 each.
So last night I was figuring that its a no go, however jumping onto Scotland's Gig Guide site today they were offering an immediate presale if you registered with them, which I did. Lo and behold, within 20 minutes I had two tickets in the very same area as Viagogo's tickets were, at the price of £53.00 each, £79.00 less than Viagogo.

Needless to say Premier Inn Glasgow and dog sitter are booked and we are both looking forward to a great show for £160.00 less than it might have been. So moral of the story, be patient and shop around before buying gig tickets at a mental price

A big thankyou to Brian Heason at Happy Being Miserable Promotions for introducing us to Winecraft and their latest single Mother Green and Her Killing Machine.

Who doesn`t like a bit of Winecraft, but thats got very little to do with the French quartet Winecraft and their retro rock sounds, with influences from the likes Deep Purple, Motorhead and modern retro rockers like Sweden`s Graveyard. In fact David Bour on vocals and bass was previously in the band Iron Bastards, who were a very Motorhead influenced band. The band have released one studio album Winecraft `N Excess Wine in 2024 and recently released an live album "Turning Water Into Wine", which also includes a live version of "Mother Green and her Killing Machine".

This is bloody good, it has Deep Purple and Arthur Brown written all over it. It bursts into life, guitar hook and swirly organ in the background and then vocals that whips the whole thing up into a frantic cacophony of proper rock n roll. The keyboards are just spot on, harking back to the '70s of the Deep Purple In Rock album, everyone gets a chance, bass, lead, keyboards, it is sublime. You can tell that we like it, we like it lots, its a 10/10 from us.

The band are on Spotify so go grab this track and some more of them.

So where will it appear on our November Chart which will be revealed on November 30th . Well that's up to you the reader. The more shares, likes, loves and engagements this original post gets the further up the charts it will appear. We have generated over 28500 engagements, likes and shares for just 60 single reviews already this year, so get all your friends and fans on board and get it out there.

A massive thankyou to Catherine at CJC promotions for introducing us to Andrea Black Music and her new single (In The) Happily Ever After.

London-based singer-songwriter Andrea Black has been on the scene for a long time, but her quirky and engaging style on guitar and piano with her emotive lyrics make her songs difficult to categorise. Her best album to date is Harvest Gold on the iconic PYE Record label (NSPL 18627), which is bound to win her new fans.

With her new single (in The) Happily Ever After set for release on vinyl on 21st November her performance at The Green Note Camden is set to inspire a captivating audience.

Now here's a surprise, starting with a piano and vocal intro with a very light touch I suspected that this was the scene set for the entire song. Then as it moves towards the 45 second mark I'm thinking wow, phrasing a la Kate Bush, is there more to come . Then at 1 min and 8 secs all becomes clear. lead guitar solo and swirly organ cuts in (I love it) and away we go. 3 mins and 31 secs of pure genius, I mentioned Kate Bush, add a twist of Toyah in there as well and you have yet another unique voice added to the ever expanding and totally credible CJC rosta. We love this without hesitation its our second 11/10 this month. It is released on the 21st November but you can delve into Andrea's back catalogue on Spotify to find more magic.

So where will it appear on our November Chart which will be revealed on November 30th . Well that's up to you the reader. The more shares, likes, loves and engagements this original post gets the further up the charts it will appear. We have generated over 28500 engagements, likes and shares for just 60 single reviews already this year, so get all your friends and fans on board and get it out there.

A massive thankyou to Jenn Barker for introducing us to Oakland based band The Goods and their new single Sunday Morning Out Of The Blue which is taken from their new album Don't Spoil The Fun which has just been released on Dandy Boy Records .

The Goods are an Oakland power pop band blending big guitars, huge hooks, and sweet British Invasion-style harmonies into a fresh, distinctive sound. Formed by singer-songwriter Rob Good - a veteran of the Oakland underground who has played with Ryli, Sob Stories, and Cocktails - the band steps out with clever songwriting and catchy melodies that nod to decades of power pop without slipping into nostalgia. Rounded out by bassist .Arens and guitarist Gabriel Monnot, The Goods first introduced their jangly, hook-driven style on their 2023 debut The Goods EP (Dandy Boy Records), a three-song 7” with an exclusive digital track that drew comparisons to the Byrds, Big Star, and Teenage Fanclub.

As soon as this masterpiece of pop bursts into life, two bands spring to mind, The Monkees of the late '60s and early '70s and The Bangles of more recent times. Poppy it is, jangly it is, catchy it definitely is, 2 mins and 28 secs of luscious comic book, cartoon TV mischief. Brilliant all round its a 10/10 from us.

So where will it appear on our November Chart which will be revealed on November 30th . Well that's up to you the reader. The more shares, likes, loves and engagements this original post gets the further up the charts it will appear. We have generated over 28500 engagements, likes and shares for just 60 single reviews already this year, so get all your friends and fans on board and get it out there.
