Flashback to when we delivered a presentation on The Tenementals at the 'Art of Song' symposium at the Royal College of Art. Here's (Bob) and Ronan passing on some words of wisdom. Very kind words from @gusironside.bsky.social writing in is this music? popping up in the background, as if by chance.

Many thanks to Scottish Union Learning for the mention in their annual report. If you want The Tenementals to come along to your organisation to do a presentation, install The Tenementals' listening post at your event, or just have a conversation about how we might work together, get in touch!

Thanks to Martin Shields for the new press photo. What do you think? Perhaps we should run a caption competition.

Our new single, 'The Broken Stones of The Calton Weavers' will be launched at 226 Gallowgate (in the heart of The Calton) on 30 August. It's a banger. Come along! Pass it on!

If you're buying a record or CD and you want the band to sign it, just drop us a line when you place the order. Pass it on!

On Monday we ventured up to the @uniofaberdeen.bsky.social to play at the International Association for the Study of Popular Music UK and Ireland conference. Great night! We dedicated our last song to the @ucu.org.uk members at Aberdeen who are currently facing redundancies. Good luck to them!

A Gig for Gaza - Sunday 28 June. Bungalow Bar, Paisley. Come along. Pass it on!

We had a very special night last night performing 'A Gig for Andy'. Andy can't make it to gigs at the moment, so we took a gig to him. Many thanks to Wendy and Murdy for arranging this and to Andy and his family for inviting us into their home. Such a memorable evening.

Photos of our recent gig at Low Moss prison. It was a privilege to be there - to play and to talk about how we might use music to engage with the past with a view to developing better futures. Photos, courtesy of Scottish Prison Service

Yesterday we presented '21 Theses on The Tenementals' and a short scaled-back performance at the No Boundaries festival at Glasgow Uni. Many thanks to the organisers for asking us along and to the audience for the super-warm response. We were too busy having a good time to take any photos!

Some very positive and thoughtful words from Diarmaid Kelliher, just published in The Catalan Journal of Communication and Cultural Studies. This is our eight review in an academic journal, which is pretty unprecedented. Drop us a line if you want a PDF.

As urgent as ever. Come along. Pass it on.

The seventh review of The Tenementals' debut album in an academic journal, this from Dr Angela Bartie, Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Edinburgh. It's unprecedented for a popular music record to receive this kind of attention from the academic community. (Shout if you want a PDF)

Simon's been doing some DIY merch.

Fantastic night at The Great May Day Cabaret! We had our mighty brass section (Clare and Ivan) on stage for the first public performance of 'The Broken Stones of The Calton Weavers'. It'll be the first single from our next album - coming soon. Watch this space!

It was an honour to debut our new song 'The Broken Stones of The Calton Weavers' at the STUC conference this week. The song will get its first public airing at The Great May Day Cabaret - we'll even have a brass section in tow. Don't miss it!

Great collection of stories in the new revolting pamphlet by Left Cultures. It includes a story about the 1820 Radical War and our song ‘Peter Pike or Pink’ - check it out at radical bookstores or at Left Culture’s Instagram page!

Thanks to all those living & working in Low Moss Prison who came along today to see The Tenementals - thanks too to all at Low Moss & Scottish Prison Service who made this happen. We finished with Rats and it was amazing when the guys started dancing. What a day! We're not rats, we're human beings!

Great day at North Glasgow Against Racism March and Festival at Maryhill Burgh Halls. Apologies to those who couldn't get in because the hall was rammed (good sign, though!)

Sunday 12 April - hope to see loads of you there!
