Daily Reckless

WHAT'S THIS DAILY RECKLESS THING?

The Daily Reckless is run by Tommy Mackay who used to play in punk bands back in the 70s and 80s, but has now resurrected his career and become a popular entertainer on the Scottish comedy circuit. He has been described as Edinburgh's very own Half Man Half Biscuit and praised for his pop sensibility and witty lyrics.

He has played many comedy and music clubs across Scotland and was once a regular on the Tommy Sheridan show on Talk 107, as well as appearing on several Edinburgh Fringe shows. He is also a regular fixture at the monthly comedy club in South Queensferry. He has received much attention from the press, The Sun notably calling him 'cheeky', while the Sunday Herald plumped for 'enthralling.'

Collaborations include his work with journalist Robert McNeil, whose reviews of Scottish MSPs Tommy has shaped into a collection of songs about our political leaders (mishaps.htm). He was also half of the short-lived phenomenon that was Whyte & Mackay.

Tommy's other guises include mash up tart, The Plagiarist, The Fall tribute band, The Foul , They Might Be Gannets and The Artist Formerly Known As Tinsel.

He has released many, many CDs, all available at the Daily Reckless shop.

Also, a free mp3 will feature here every week. (download.htm) Stay tuned.
