dc-jambo Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Yep kudos to Scott Wilson - if he’s listening - not sure if it was prompted by my suggestion on here ? but in any case, was thrilled to hear it and hope to hear it at Tynie again. It’s a grower that track, one of the sweetest songs ever written about Edinburgh and so unlike The Fall. Their only ballad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
