Ticket for @NicolaSturgeon Roadshow

I am headed off tomorrow to join the thousands of people who have managed to get a hold of a ticket to hear Scotland's new First Minister, speak at the Hydro in Glasgow.

As well as a speech from Nicola, we will also hear from the new Depute Leader, Stewart Hosie MP, and Alex Salmond MSP.

And on top of all that there will be performances from Lou Hickey, Eddi Reader, Red Hot Chilli Pipers, Edinburgh indie band Blank Canvas, Stanley Odd and Dougie MacLean. With Dougie performing, that must mean Caledonia is on the itinerary!

Should be a fun Saturday afternoon...and I'm sure the new cabinet will be there too, so plenty of friends on show.

I must mention however there will be a tinge of sadness now that fellow blipper @Feorlean has retired from government. He will be much missed.
