If Pictish Trail were a movie, what kind of movie would he be? Would he be courageous and handsome like Michael Douglas in Romancing the Stone? Would he be reassuringly violent like the unjustly maligned Rambo quadrilogy? Would he be whip-smart clever and fiendishly witty like Nutty Professor II: The Klumps? Or, like Top Gun, would he be a blockbusting, high-octane gay innuendo from first to last? Decide for yourself by watching a delightful and funny animated short film made by Lost Map design maestro David Galletly to accompany an excerpt from Pictish's forthcoming limited-edition cassette live album recorded at The Stand, Edinburgh, ingeniously titled Pictish Trail, Live at The Stand, Edinburgh.
Recorded on March 17, 2015, while on tour with Officially The Funniest Person Under The Sun™ Josie Long, the live album will only be available to purchase at the merch stall at dates on ol' Picterino's forthcoming tour - a list of which dates you'll find below. So basically you'll need to get down to a show if you want to get your hands on a copy. And, if you're lucky, get your hands on Pictish too. He may even sell you the cassette himself at the merch stall, in which case you can pose with him for a treasurable selfie, and tell him "I loved you in Wall Street!"
