It’s publication day for Small Town Joy, my book about how queer musicians changed the sound of Scotland. It’s based on two years of interviews with musicians, music fans, grassroots groups and other fascinating folks, and I hope it’ll make you excited about the music it describes and the musicians who’ve been so generous with their time.

As my friend, the writer and crafter Karie Westermann, put it: “Queer people creating joy, crafting resilience, and finding community through music. It could not have been published at a better time.”

The book is available online from my publisher, from Bookshop.org and from good bookshops everywhere.
