1 POP culture in childhood I HAD a very happy childhood. I felt completely loved. We had parents that listened to us and always supported our interests. Obviously they controlled my cultural life as a child, and we would be taken to Dundee Rep, the Byre Theatre, The McManus, and the Edinburgh Festival. I didn’t realise it was sowing the seeds for what I would do with my life. I’m grateful to be have been brought up in a house that liked culture, travel, reading and really liked conversation and arguing about ideas. We were brought up to have opinions.

Nearly a year since the start of the first UK lockdown, I ve listened to every LP I ve ever bought - and found a diary of my life in the grooves.
I m sitting, typing. The rain spreads across the window in glossy veins. We can t go out, anyway, but the weather adds to the feeling of being stuck. So here I am inside, listening to music so familiar I can hear the next track as the first starts to fade. I flip over the record and reset the needle. And I m crying. Happy tears. memory tears… tears of gratitude. Because you may be in lockdown but I m at the gig of my life and all it took to get here was a song.
