Champions League more like.
Look at these fantastic ‘zines. The super-talented Jordi creates these pocket-sized gems that include interviews, photos, playlists and the like of various artists and the Trashcans were only too happy to answer the call.
They really are works of art…
Made up of songs left behind, but not forgotten, from her previous two long players, the new album, ‘Light is in the Horizon’ by Eddi Reader is a delight.
Twelve songs filled with charm and love – they always are to be fair – played by a whole host of well-kent musicians: Phil Cunningham, Boo Hewerdine, Katie Walters, Alan Kelly, Alison Freegard, Stephen Douglas, John Douglas and many more.
Out now and available via Reveal Records – ‘Hope and light is in the horizon always…’

Here’s an old business card from Shabby Road Studio in Kilmarnock – home of the Trashcan Sinatras from the late 80s to mid 90’s.
Originally, the studio was known as Sirocco, and saw many a now famous band waltz through its doors to rehearse and record – Del Amitri, The Bluebells and Aztec Camera to name a few.
Started by Clark Sorley, Sirocco eventually made its way into the hands of the Trashcan Sinatras following their signing to Go! Discs. A natural progression perhaps, seeing as Frank Reader was studio engineer at the time.
It was then duly changed to Shabby Road and – for want of a better expression – the rest is history.

HOMESPUN is a new project combining the art work of Maree Hughes and music by Trashcans bass player Davy Hughes. Maree is a full time artist based at WASPS Courtyard Studios in Irvine, on the West Coast of Scotland, specialising in drawing, painting and printmaking.
With the help of Creative Scotland, Maree and Davy sent out an SOS to the world aiming to raise money to purchase new studio equipment, to produce quality images and enable production of a 4-track digital audiovisual EP.
Within a few hours of the project going live Maree and Davy’s first goal had been achieved allowing them to offer up a number of rewards including, original prints & artwork, early access to animations & new music, with contributions from other members of Trashcan Sinatras.
You can still make a pledge here – but be quick as it ends on the 14th of September.
Here’s an original Lino cut called Mermaid In A Bottle, which was hand delivered by Davy. Typically, I wasn’t in and never got to personally thank him – so, thanks Davy.
Good luck with the rest of your project.
