On the OurStory Scotland podcast there is a brilliant new episode compiled from oral history recordings by Amanda with members of SheBoom, the Glasgow-based women’s drumming band and collective. open.spotify.com/episode/5WxLuW…

The latest OurStory Scotland oral history recordings of SheBoom participants and of queer music, along with their compilations for radio/podcast, will be archived National Library of Scotland in the OurStory Scotland Collection Archives & MSS

Excellent podcast-of-passion from our Secretary, Amanda, she’s worked so hard on this! What a wonderful way to celebrate SheBoom by hearing what it means to the drummers themselves 🥁 open.spotify.com/episode/5WxLuW…

Great to hear SheBoom perform at yesterday’s anti racist rally in George Square and for Amanda’s podcast to get a wee shout out ✊

Great to see Shaper/Caper’s Queer and Now exhibition in full swing! We trained the artists and asked them to add to our archive, great to see what can be done with oral history interviews WASPS Artist Studio Glasgow 1-13th with some artists giving a talk on the 11th
