The Tremelo Diaries: Justin Currie with Nicola Meighan

Music, Memoir, Wellbeing
Join Justin Currie, Del Amitri’s much-loved frontman, in conversation with BBC Radio Scotland’s Nicola Meighan as they discuss Justin’s powerful and personal memoir, The Tremolo Diaries.
Four years ago, at the age of 56, Justin Currie was having problems playing guitar on one of Del Amitri’s best-known and most popular songs, “Nothing Ever Happens”. Something wasn’t right. After the tour, he went to see a neurologist. So begins The Tremolo Diaries, Currie’s poetic, self-deprecating journal as he deals with his Parkinson’s diagnosis and an epic US tour.
Part meditative memoir, part fascinating travelogue of life on the road in the 21st century, Justin guides us from gig to gig via art galleries, parks, bars, and sites of natural beauty. As he contemplates the long-term ramifications, both personally and professionally, of this incurable and little-understood condition, he allows us into a world of love and friendship, life and loss.
