It was such a pleasure to host last night’s Gray Day, saluting the wonder of Alasdair Gray, under his magical ceiling mural at a sold-out Oran Mor. Loved @sarasheridan.bsky.social, Alan Bissett, Ashley Storrie and Christopher Macarthur-Boyd’s performances, all thanks to the @agrayarchive.bsky.social
