Ridiculously under-publicised due to lack of effort on his part, and criminally under-listened to due to lack of effort on everybody else's part, Boy:48 is an Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 graphic designer and married father of two who likes to write, make, record, produce and publish music when he can. His SoundCloud page has over 250 tracks on it, dating from ancient lo-fi tape demos from 1988, to regular releases as they are finished, at the rate of one or two a month. Thirteenth collection of demo's, 'Scatterling', released in December 2015, followed by double-collection Matryoshka (late 2017) and Krokodyl (early 2018). There followed a period of fulsome activity resulting in the OZALID and Dream, Daedalus albums, and while beginning his Sleepshow collection, lockdown struck and he walloped 26 tracks in just 6 months - one a week, resulting in much slapdash work. 2021 saw a return to normal with the completion of Sleepshow in March, and Ink Traps in December. 2022 saw his collection FASH completed, and its follow-up, DWAM, was completed in the second half of 2023. 2024 has served up seventeen new tracks, which are bundled in the collection, Charivari, which was released January 2025. Be advised that all the stuff is demo's - that means they are there to showcase, or give an impression of, what a piece could sound like. But they've not been done by professionals, nor in ideal recording conditions, so all sorts of qualities, details, dynamics etc. will not be the best possible. So think of them as worked-up sketches, rather than studio-made productions. All of them are AMDG - Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam: To the Greater Glory of God.

The songwriting and band workshop Pump Up The Jam runs for 8-week blocks, guiding young musicians and songwriters to create fully-fledged bands with their own set of original music. Songs are recorded in the Tolbooth Studio, before a full live final performance in the Auditorium.

Crowned best live act by the Scottish Alternative Music Awards and awarded the title of best international act by Pure M Magazine, UK festival favourites Colonel Mustard & The Dijon 5 are due to release their long-awaited second album, The Difficult Number 2, later this year. The forthcoming release from the album, This Is Your House, features dance music icon Mary Kiani and Dopesick Fly frontman Ant Thomaz and is a testament to the Glasgow-based band’s reputation as joyful, genre-hopping purveyors of music to move your feet to. 


Big, warm and immediately uplifting, the forthcoming single was born out of the eleven-strong outfit’s love for dance music, with the universal message to look after the planet that we are unified in calling “Our House”. Inspired by nights spent in legendary Glasgow nightclub, The Arches, This Is Your House is the sound of this year’s summer. 


The album, which is due to be released in April, marks a sonic evolution for the band. Produced by Paul Gallagher - front of house engineer for synth-pop pioneers, CHVRCHES - The Difficult Number 2 is a mixture of developed, tried and tested fan favourites combined with some brand spanking new tracks featuring the band’s signature singalong magic. The lead single, G.T., has been championed by BBC 6 Music’s Amy Lamé as was follow-up single Ted Dancin' which reached number 7 in the Scottish Charts. With album guests as eclectic as Larry Love(Alabama 3) and Gavin Mitchell(Still Game) there is something for everyone. 


Since the Dijon 5’s 2014 album, Party To Make Music To Party To Make Music To Party To Make Music To Party To 1, the cult favourites have striven to create an album that fans will love just as much, while taking them somewhere new entirely. John McMustard, aka the Colonel, said: “There’s no filler. Every song works well individually, but as a whole the album takes you on a musical journey into the different genres that we love.


“What’s remained is the spirit of unity and community that lies at the heart of all the music we make. Gals’ studio is tied to the Castlemilk Youth Complex so we’ve even had the local kids’ choir in singing on a couple of tunes which is brilliant.”


Live, the band are famed for throwing some of the most outrageous parties in venues and festivals across the UK and beyond. Subject to lockdown restrictions, the band are gearing up to play a whole host of festivals including Eden Festival, Playground, Boomtown, Party At The Palace and Beatherderder.


The album launch will take place as an online event on Sat 1st May 2021 in the world renowned Glasgow Barrowland Ballroom where they were previously inducted into the Barrowland Hall Of Fame. This will be the 5th time the band have played the famous stage and to mark the centenary of the Barras market, they will be filming part of their set within the market , as well as in a number of areas no band has gone before within the iconic building. Expect an online party where the 6th Dijon can interact with the band and enjoy the communal experience, in a new exciting way together. 

We are the flagbearers of The Yellow Movement. A creative movement with a DIY ethos aiming to affect positive change, bring people together and make them happy. This is our manifesto:

"Laugh until you no longer know what it is to hate, release your soul, determine your own fate, lose your self consciousness, find anonymous awesomeness, in bottomless thoughtfulness, lose your inhibitions, forget the distractions, take non-violent direct action, be your own improvement, use your illusion. You are never alone, anyone can happen, be the best you, you can be. This is the blueprint, we are the nuisance, the fluent union of amusement. The Yellow Movement, the evolution revolution, a symbiosis of (un)conscious and conscience... do join us."

Spread the Mustard love and join The Yellow Movement. Your Colonel needs you!

You ARE the 6th Dijon! We love you! Thank you for being a friend.

Peace, love and Mustard.
