Toadcast #19 - The Scotchcast

Back at long last, would you believe.  After the abortive attempt at a Christmas podcast and then the IT disaster in Toad Hall - when my retarded computer ground to a halt and had to have its entire operating system reinstalled - I have finally managed to record another podcast.   Sorting out the IT department was not at all as easy as it should have been, so it’s taken ages to get to the point where I could record a podcast again.

So, excuses over and done with, what am I going to inflict on you this time?  The bloody Scots, that’s who.  The Scottish music scene is an amazingly fertile one, so I thought I’d review 2007 and have a bit of a look forward to 2008.  So I’ve pulled together some of the big guys like Malcolm Middleton, Emma Pollock and King Creosote and interspersed a few of the lesser known acts from around here to give you a nicely rounded look at what’s going on musically in the land of Buckfast and deep-fried Mars bars.
