Image by Dawn StoreyIf you’re yet to witness the spectacle of a Hamish Hawk gig, February’s tour is the time to rectify that. Their critically acclaimed third album, A Firmer Hand, reached number 22 in September and the Edinburgh five-piece never disappoint. Their electric energy and Hawk’s inimitable dancing are intoxicating, and it was a pleasure to sit down for a chat with him while he and his band were in the North East to support Travis.

Image: Ian Prowse by Richard StoreyLiverpool legend Ian Prowse has covered a lot of miles this year. Alongside his own tours, he’s put in extra shifts supporting Damien Dempsey and Elvis Costello, and now ends 2024 with a handful of Mersey Hymns shows bolstered by a full band. Support act The Gleeman apologises for the number of “death-oriented songs” in his set.
