Peter Johnstone, Scotland On Sunday, 3 June 2018

Published in Scotland On Sunday, 3 June 2018 | Words by Derick Mackinnon and Olaf Furniss. Read on Scotsman.com [in association with Glasgow Jazz Festival] PETER JOHNSTONE Artist of the Week in Scotland On SundaySince leaving school Peter Johnstone has been behind a series of gigs in his native Bathgate bringing some quality acts to audiences in the West Lothian town.Last year he moved to Glasgow where he has been undertaking his own musical development, which was aided by a songwriting workshop hosted by Francis Macdonald of Teenage Fanclub and BMX Bandits fame. The result is a four-track debut entitled Teleshopping, which gets its official launch on Wednesday at a gig in Glasgow's Hug & Pint. Whether by accident or design, the BMX Bandits’ knack for endearing lyrics and jangly guitar pop are very much in evidence on the title track, and this nod to the golden age of Scottish indie is further underlined by the EP being released on cassette. Johnstone is a new talent worth looking out for http://bit.ly/UTRTeleshopping Derick Mackinnon and Olaf Furniss run music industry seminar and social night Born To Be Wide ww.borntobewide.co.uk Under the Radar is in association with Glasgow Jazz Festival Founded in 1987, Glasgow Jazz Festival is Glasgow’s longest running music festival, with highlights including stars like Sarah Vaughan, Miles Davis, Ray Charles, Tony Bennett and Buddy Guy.
