Welcome to Jocknroll Ain’t Noise Pollution, a site that used to celebrate all that is good (and occasionally bad) about Scottish Rock and Pop Music, as well as my own musings on all manner of subjects, courtesy of the BLOG PAGE but has now moved on.
Seasons come and go, times change and I’m moving away from writing about Scottish music and it will now just be a hub for general musings on all manner of things; board games, girls/women’s football, Norway, quizzing, sport and, occasionally, music. DON’T SEND ME MUSIC TO REVIEW. I simply don’t have the time. But I will occasionally publicise acts I am particularly fond of, as is my wont. My house, my rules. There are many more better sites for getting your stuff reviewed and some basic research will find them.
Feel free to browse Jocknroll via the links on the right, or above the header picture, which features The Jacobeats. There is still the A to Z of Scottish bands but this is well out-of-date and won’t be updated anytime soon. They are still links to the results of our music polls from years and years ago (we really should do another one but lethargy is a terrible affliction). There’s also some Scottish Pop Trivia, which will may or may not be updated and expanded extensively and the all-important Jocknroll Blog for regular random musings on all manner of subjects.
Get in touch via jocknroll [at] gmail [dot] com. Haste ye back!
THIS IS JOCKNROLL RADIO. STAY TUNED FOR MORE JOCKNROLL.

Hey Paul. Thanks for your review of the Scared To Get Happy show and the soundbites. Glad you enjoyed it. It was great fun. Pete (Mighty Mighty)

Hello Paul, my name is Dezy John Murray. Until a few minutes ago I wasn’t aware of your site. I commend you for your interest in Scottish culture, especially our contribution to rock music.
I would be honoured if you added my name to your artists list.
In the 80s I was in the Glasgow band Pas the Gas. In the 90s I played guitar with Hugh Reed and the Velvet Underpants and toured Europe with them. In 1998 along with HRATVU drummer Russell McSwan I released an alternative to Del Amitri’s World Cup single called Scotland Get Tae France. We appeared on The Big Breakfast TV programme and went down a storm. We were invited back due to popular demand and even got recognised by a lovely Londoner near Goodge St!
Then we appeared on the Jack Docherty Show.
At the moment I have just started rehearsing with Dave Spacious Tunstall of the Langan Band for a six gig tour of China next spring. Hugh Reed is hosting us and doing the promotion etc.
Thanks again for setting up this site.
Regards, Dezy.
