Ben Vaughn "Glasgow Time" 2002

Thank you very much! Although I'm familiar with many of Ben Vaughn's albums, this is one I'd never run into before.
Perhaps a little context as to why he did an album in Glasgow?
Basically, the drummer of Teenage Fanclub and all round Glasgow music guy called BV and invited him to come over, put a band together and tour Scotland. He went over, the band had members of Belle & Sebastian and Teenage Fanclub, among others, and after the tour it was agreed they'd record with the band for a day. 6 months later, Ben came back over to Glasgow for the Celtic Connections festival and they got some more recording in. Et voila... Glasgow Time. Probably not so much a labour of love as a labour of lager, as the decisions all seem to have been made in the pub!
Thanks, sir.
Thanks! I didn't know any of that, but of course it sounds exactly like the kind of thing BV would end up doing.
Thanks to u I have discovered Ben Vaughan!! What a find.
Thanks for your work.
