Fitlike Records had something very unique and special going for a few years but I’ve decided to call it a day. Thank you anyone who has contributed, advised, purchased, viewed and generally supported the label, it has been massively appreciated.

Elphinstone Institute Public Lectures
A Huge thanks to the Elphinstone Institute for inviting me along to chat about the label at University of Aberdeen as part of their public lecture series. Had a wonderful evening with a small but enthusiastic audience, thanks to all that attended. Looking over how the label started and what it achieved has given me lots to think about going forward.
BGA SAY Award Shortlist
Too many acronyms? Agreed. Fancy doing us a favour? If you are a fan of the band, head over to the SAY website before midnight on 22 August and give Best Girl Athlete a vote for getting onto the Scottish Album of the Year shortlist. This would make everyone concerned very happy.
The Return of Wendell Borton
Do you remember the Wendell Borton EP we put out in 2016? No, that’s a shame, it was really good. Well, the scuzzy-pop scamps are at it again and will be dropping a golden musical egg very soon…LOOK OUT!
BGA Instore – Edinburgh
This Saturday, come say hello to Katie and me at Assai Records, Edinburgh…
SAY Award Longlist Announced…
…and guess who’s on it…Seamount Court’s favourite quine. She’ll not thank me for that but so very happy that the album has got this far. Representing Aberdeen on the national stage is no easy feat, kudos to Katie.
Fitlike Records on BBC Radio 4
The wonderful series from Laura Barton, Notes from a Musical Island visited Aberdeen recently and the episode went out this week. Was really pleased to be part of the series that explores musicians relationships with their locality and environment. The episode will be on the iPlayer for a short while and you can listen here and features three Fitlike artists in CS Buchan, Best Girl Athlete and Kitchen Cynics, along with former Scottish Album of the Year award winner Kathryn Joseph.
