Scotland Week Coverage Roundup Thus Far

Belle and Sebastian, God Help the Girl, Franz Ferdinand, Camera Obscura, James McAvoy, Frightened Rabbit, and Others – More to Come This Weekend

Sep 05, 2014 By Mark Redfern Scotland Week

This week on our website has been Scotland Week, partly in honor of today’s release of God Help the Girl, the feature film writing and directing debut of Stuart Murdoch, the frontman for Scotland’s Belle and Sebastian. The film takes place in Murdoch’s native Glasgow. All throughout the week we’ve been posting interviews, reviews, lists, and blog posts relating to Scotland and in particular Scottish music. We’ve talked to Murdoch and the entire main cast of God Help the Girl and have been talking to Scottish musicians about their favorite Scottish albums and their thoughts on the Scottish Independence Referendum, in which in a few weeks the people of Scotland get to vote on whether or not to secede from the United Kingdom and have Scotland become its own country.

In case you’ve missed any of the coverage, below is a list of everything we’ve posted thus far, organized by day. But we’re not quite done yet. Check back over the weekend for interviews with The Vaselines, Helen Marnie of Ladytron, We Were Promised Jetpacks, The Twilight Sad, and The Amazing Snakeheads, as well as a guest blog post from James Yorkston.
