Reflections: Church about more than Assembly talk
AS you read this, the Church of Scotland, of which I am a minister, is meeting in General Assembly, in the Assembly Hall at the top of The Mound in Edinburgh.
Music Matters - with John Murray
I caught up with John Cooper Clarke this week and he still doesn’t mind being referred to as the ‘punk poet’. I reminded him of those days when he signed to CBS Records for an unbelievable deal releasing singles and albums on coloured and shaped vinyl, many of which lie gathering stoor in my loft. The image of the tall lad in skinny jeans and Chelsea boots was only enhanced by his shades and big hair remarkably intact today. Live From South Bank (Safe Cracker), is his new DVD featuring not only an effortless stand up routine but also some rapid fire poetry delivered comically with wit and intricate rhyme. Extras include a rare live duet of 36 Hours with Frank Sidebottom on guitar. This must be one of the last films of Chris Sievey’s comic character with the papermache head before he succumbed to cancer in 2010.

Book Choice
It’s not often I read a book purely on recommendation, having not heard of the author, but luckily ‘Americanah’ by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie was an exception.
Music Matters - with John Murray
For a while the music biz was pondering over the new David Bowie album after a surprise ‘single’ was suddenly released without warning.
My Week - with Scott Inglis
I started off the week, I’m quite happy to admit, firmly in the ‘celebrating Thatcher’s death’ camp.
