Predictably hungover and sounding huskier than ever, Pictish Trail has returned to Eigg having just played his first live shows in 18 months - be gentle with him, as he guides you through this month’s music on Lost Map.

PICTISH TRAIL has survived both Green Man and Jupiter Rising festivals, and is here to tell you how good he was at them … before guiding your ears through this month’s releases on Lost Map Records - including a brand new single from himself. Unbelievable.

MOLLY LINEN has frankly had enough of Glasgow (for the time being), and has made her way down to Somerset. We got in touch to ask her about the making of her new EP, Days Awake, and she didn’t swear once. It’s like she never lived in Glasgow at all!

In this month’s FIRST GIG WORST GIG section we are joined by ‘ROMEO’ TAYLOR STEWART, drummer with a brand new signing to Lost Map called HERBERT POWELL. He tells us of his first gig as a punter, and his worst gig as a performer. Taylor is still very much in Glasgow, and so listener discretion is advised.
