There's a feature on the album on Lomond Radio's Drivetime tomorrow, 15th October. The show is 1600 - 1800 and we're on around 5.
There'll be a couple of tracks, some band and album info.
And maybe one of my off the cuff station idents...

Happy days ✌️
It's a wet miserable Sunday, the perfect day to release our first single: "EightyThree"
It's on Bandcamp and on Amazon too.
There's joy and relief at coming home.
It's unlikely I'll post much on here with the way things are, so I've started on the new place if anyone wants to find me there.

Monday, the trip that keeps on giving.
I'm assuming this is a buzzard eyeing up these (what looks like) peregrine falcons' babies on the ground below hence they kept trying to take it down with limited success?
It was noisy and protracted. Awesome stuff to witness.
Downloaded the camera from Monday, the joy that brought I'll get to, first we have the 50K shadow below.
I think it's actually around 47km, I didn't have my Stanley tape measure on me. Whatever, it's the summit of Ben Lomond touching the turn-ups of the Ochils' trousers. I think.
