The music wasn't too bad. I hadn't heard Kate Rusby before and thought she sang quite well, but my not being familiar with her songs was a disadvantage. Aly and Phil looked bored out of their skulls, probably because they were. It's not their type of scene but a pay cheque is a pay cheque. Roseanne Cash is a truly excellent voice but she could have chosen more appropriate material. And where was the much heralded tribute to Johnny Cash? I must have blinked.

The presentation was awful. Jackie Bird should stick to reading the news (her false bonhomie is just a shade too false, actually it's puke-worthy) and that wee guy who was on with her should stick to whatever else it is that he does. Surely Scotland can do better than this? No wonder I drank too much!
