Been wondering what's next for Linda... aka the most recently crowned Eel Queen?
Good news! The BAFTA-nominated comedy is returning for a second series on Channel 4.
More info on series 2 of @BridgetChristie's The Change here:

ALT Bridget Christie as Linda is the Eel Queen
"That the sector continues to treat disabled students not being able to access their education as anything other than an emergency of that nature is a scandal" wonkhe.com/wonk-corner/time-…

Thanks to @Halfa1965 I went to see @JohnnyCampbel1 in Stirling last night and what an excellent night it was! Well worth the rainy drive 😁
Stirling next Monday! Will be great to see you there @JohnnyCampbel1 😊 Thanks for including a Scottish date 🏴
The first three shows of the UK tour have been great. Well attended or sold out, which there's been a lot of background work to make happen.
I wrote a blog on the current True North tour below.

My self promote at The Hare & Hounds on March 17th is in danger of being cancelled.
Don’t wanna panic you but if you want to come, please book some tickets! 🎫
My break even is 60 tickets and we’re not even 1/4 of the way there.

Congratulations to John Powell who is celebrating his 90th birthday today. John provided data to the @metoffice from his Gower weather station for almost 50 years. And broadcast regularly on Swansea Sound for nearly 30 years! He is currently in hospital but hopes to be home soon.
Starting to feel very very excited about seeing @MissMargoPrice in #Glasgow tomorrow. I may be tempting fate but at this point no storms looming and no oncoming bug detected 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

"It's quite remarkable, across cultures and creeds, people find a lot to identify with in Burns."
We're proud to be home to the world's leading research centre for the study of Scotland's national poet @GlasgowBurns @UofGARC.
Happy #BurnsNight! 🖋️ 🎶 🏴

So tonight I didn't get to see @roamingroots at @ccfest and I'm sorry for everyone else who missed out due to the weather 😭 I wish so much they streamed it or there was some way to see it. My kid is so damn sad about it 😞
In rehearsals for Roaming Roots Revue @ccfest and it’s sounding beyond epic. Very excited for this weekend. The Concert Hall is sold out on Sunday 21st, but some tickets remaining for the bonus Barrowland Ballroom show on Saturday 20th. You’d be silly not to join us!

Scots have celebrated wassail, the Pagan tradition to mark the Twelfth night, in Glasgow!
The practice includes singing to and blessing apple trees, waking them from their winter slumber and asking for a good harvest for the year ahead 🍎
