Stuart Braithwaite - The Long Way From Home
The excitement is palpable at The Moon Under Water and one of Landlord John's heroes is about to arrive. It's Mogwai guitarist and vocalist Stuart Braithwaite.
It鈥檚 1997. A young John Robins is studying for a GCSE in 鈥楲andlording鈥�. His life is dominated by Queen, and provides the soundtrack to his school years. However, his life is about to be turned upside down with the release of Mogwai鈥檚 debut album Young Team. Post-rock is about to become John鈥檚 music of choice, and Mogwai will forever have a special place in his heart.
Flash forward to 2021. Landlord John, wearing the Mogwai T-shirt he鈥檚 had for over 20 years, is cleaning the bar at The Moon Under Water when he notices someone walking towards the pub. Through the mist comes a familiar face. It appears the stars have aligned, as the man walking towards him is none other than Mogwai guitarist, vocalist and founding member Stuart Braithwaite!
Stuart has toured the world during his time in Mogwai, and grew up in one of the UK鈥檚 greatest pub cities: Glasgow. He will certainly have some amazing pub stories to tell and we welcome him into The Moon Under Water with open arms, but let's just hope John is able to still pour pints despite his excitement.
