Nicola Meighan speaks with the broadcaster, writer and musician about exactly what makes punk "punk", his book, Songs in the Key of Fife, the musical influence and offspring of that eponymous county, and matching speed metal near beat-for-beat
The Pictish Trail is back with another album of dreamy and skewed pop, transmitted from his caravan on the remote Isle of Eigg. He speaks to Nicola Meighan about the gestation of Secret Soundz Vol. 2, touring with Josie Long, and writing 30-second songs
Seamus Fogarty, who releases his debut album through Fence Records later this month, crafts beguiling songs out of a whole arsenal of traditional and not-so traditional instruments. He speaks to Nicola Meighan about finding inspiration in a lost t-shirt
