back in the caledonian hinterland

good morning. i am very excited to be back in edinburgh, prepping for shows. however, as it is a monday, i cannot talk too much about them. i have to focus on music, as per my previous category rule. briefly then, the shows i am, or might be, doing are as follows:

• the penny dreadfuls, 18:00, pleasance one
• gutted: a revenger's musical, 23:15, assembly ballroom
• i am directing six and a half loves by the redoubtable terry saunders, 15:15, pleasance beneath
• i will be hosting tom:foolery, the comedy night when only toms perform
• i may do a solo show... thom tuck goes straight to dvd - more info laters

as it is a monday, i thought i would share with you my favourite playlist off of from spotify what i made. i made it for a friend (andrew pugsley) and all of the songs were recorded in the fifties. awesome much? yes. there is some elvis and cash and jerry lee lewis, but the fun proper gets going with professor longhair and his shuffling hungarians. yes. hungarians. shuffling. that is the name of professor longhair's band. it may well be the best song ever.

i hope you enjoy it.
