In our first episode of the podcast to be recorded IN PERSON for a long time (since the Free Love episode in 2018, or possibly the Xmas spesh with Malcolm Middleton?), PICTISH TRAIL travels down to Edinburgh to chat face-to-face with LAURA in the confines of her flat, making use of both toilets, under the watchful eye of guest co-host BART OWL. Together they share their memories of the recent HOWLIN’ FLING ISLAND FAMILY GATHERING event on Eigg, delivering all the salacious goss you’ve come to expect from this gibbering podcast. Boobs at the moon? Drunken ceilidh dancing? Two toilets? It’s all in here.

Continuing our festival theme, we've got a clip of a Howlin’ Fling live session from COURTNEY MARIE ANDREWS recorded during her visit to Eigg - the full video version of which is available exclusively to POSTMAP CLUB members. We’ve also got new PostMap music from DELIFINGER and THE GN BAND - who respectively offer some insight into their dream festival line-ups and nightmare hellscapes.

We’ve even got a special edition of our First Gig Worst Gig segment, with Oliver from SDF guiding us through his own sordid weekender experiences in FIRST FEST/WORST FEST. It’s almost like being there. So much so, during all the excitement, we’ve lost our pal L.T. LEIF somewhere on site - but they’ve just left us a message telling us where we can find them…
