🎙️ SOLO PODCAST — 1,000 SUBSCRIBERS, TIGERS & ABSOLUTE NONSENSE! 🔥
THE HASHTAG SHOW IS BACK WITH ANOTHER SOLO EPISODE!
No guests. No sensible conversation. Just Scott Gibson, a microphone and absolutely no idea where the conversation is going to end up. 😂
❤️ First up, we're celebrating a massive milestone for the podcast — 1,000 SUBSCRIBERS ON YOUTUBE!
Scott takes a moment to thank everyone who's supported the show, reflects on how far the podcast has come since losing his great friend and co-host Mallorca Lee, and shares a brilliant wee story about Mal's habit of leaving inappropriate drawings in his notebooks.
But don't worry. Things go downhill remarkably quickly.
🔥 THIS WEEK'S NONSENSE INCLUDES:
🎉 Celebrating 1,000 YouTube subscribers
❤️ Remembering Mallorca Lee and the journey of The Hashtag Show
🎧 The incredible response to the Denis McBride / Hangar 13 episode
☕ Why do people who hate coffee love Starbucks?
🎄 Christmas decorations in October and the dangers of a Fife Christmas
🥶 Why being cold is infinitely better than being hot
🐅 A man, a tiger and some extremely questionable ideas for the justice system
📖 A campaign to bring back some forgotten vocabulary
🏴 Scotland, AI data centres and the country's apparent nuclear superpower status
🍰 Nigella Lawson, The Great British Bake Off and the mysterious art of eating cake
Plus, a few hints about some very special guests coming to the podcast over the next few weeks.
It's heartfelt, ridiculous, occasionally offensive and completely unfiltered.
Just another perfectly normal episode of The Hashtag Show.

335 with Denis McBride
2026/10/07
🚨 DENIS McBRIDE — HANGAR 13 | THE CLUB OF THE FUTURE 🚨
🏴 SCOTLAND. THE 1990s. THE RAVE REVOLUTION.
In the early 90s, Scotland was at the centre of an explosion in electronic music. And in an old pavilion in Ayr, something extraordinary was happening.
It was called HANGAR 13.
A nightclub that became legendary. A place where thousands of young people travelled from across Scotland and beyond, every Saturday night, to experience something they'd never forget.
🎧 Ultra-Sonic. TTF. The Prodigy. Hardfloor. Ramirez. QFX. Joey Beltram. And of course, the legendary DJ Trevor Reilly.
But behind the music, the lasers and the madness was a man with a vision.
This week on The Hashtag Show, Scott sits down with Denis McBride, the man who, alongside Trevor Reilly, created one of the most iconic venues in Scottish dance music history.
From working as a van driver and promoting small club nights in Paisley, to the hugely successful LOVE nights in Glasgow and eventually creating Hangar 13, Denis takes us right back to where it all began.
🔥 The birth of Hangar 13🎧 Working alongside Trevor Reilly🏴 Scotland's incredible 90s rave scene🚨 The legendary Hangar security dogs🎶 Ultra-Sonic, TTF and the biggest names in dance music💿 The marketing, music and magic behind the club❤️ The sacrifices, friendships and community that made it special
We also talk about the incredible Mallorca Lee, why Scottish artists don't always receive the recognition they deserve, and the importance of creating something that people will remember for the rest of their lives.
More than 30 years later, people still talk about those Saturday nights in Ayr.
This is the story of the man who helped make them happen.

334 with Harry Miller (Forty Clothing)
2026/10/01
👕 HARRY MILLER — FORTY CLOTHING
From a three-year-old boy drawing a monster… to one of Glasgow’s most recognisable independent clothing brands.
This week on The Hashtag Show, Scott sits down with Harry Miller, founder of Forty Clothing, for a proper deep dive into the story behind the brand — and the man behind it.
Harry talks about his early years in Glasgow’s fashion and club culture, his 20 years with Cruise, DJing, discovering his creative identity and the unlikely beginnings of Forty after his son Bryce drew the monster that would eventually become the brand’s iconic logo.
But this isn’t just a success story.
We get into the highs and lows of building something you genuinely love — from pop-ups and basements to Royal Exchange Square, flagship stores and expansion, through to closing the city-centre store, restructuring the business and asking some difficult questions about what comes next.
❤️ Family👕 Fashion & Glasgow culture🎧 Rave and club culture🏴 Community📈 Building Forty📉 Success, setbacks & starting again🧠 Imposter syndrome & self-belief❤️🔥 What happens when your business becomes part of your identity
Harry also opens up about people-pleasing, giving too much of yourself away, protecting your creativity and ultimately realising that sometimes making something smaller can actually bring you closer to why you started it in the first place.
Funny, vulnerable and incredibly open — this is much more than a conversation about clothes.

333 Solo Gibbo "Sweeney, Baynes & Danny's C Bomb"
2026/09/22
Sydney Sweeney. Bayne’s the Bakers. Danny Dyer. MobLand. Nigella Lawson.
Five subjects that have absolutely no business appearing in the same conversation.
Welcome back to Solo Gibb.
This week Scott locks himself in a dangerously overheated podcast studio and attempts to make sense of another completely normal week on planet Earth.
It doesn't go well.
Sydney Sweeney has caused another internet meltdown — apparently attractive women are dangerous again — which naturally leads to a discussion about advertising, outrage culture and why sometimes you need to accept that something just isn't for you.
Then, somehow, we stumble upon perhaps the greatest advertising campaign never made:
🥐 Tom Hardy. As Bane. Advertising Bayne’s the Bakers.
"I was born in the dark..."
Someone at Bayne’s needs to make the call.
Elsewhere…
🔥 Bayne’s vs Greggs — and why it's not even close🔥 The increasingly exhausting business of everyone being angry at everything🔥 Danny Dyer enters the political conversation🔥 Why politicians might benefit from occasionally speaking like actual human beings🔥 The cost of simply existing in Britain🔥 Why streaming services need to STOP releasing one episode a week🔥 MobLand🔥 Bake Off returns🔥 Nigella enters the tent🔥 And the search begins for a butcher, a baker and a candlestick maker to complete the greatest month of podcast guests ever assembled.
It's ranting.
It's rambling.
It's wildly unnecessary.
It's Solo Gibb.

332 with Robert McLean (Part 2) - The Untold Story of Ultimate Buzz
2026/09/16
The story of Ultimate Buzz continues — and this time, Robert McLean tells the part he's never really told before.
In Episode 332 of The Hashtag Show, Scott sits down with Rab McLean for Part 2 of their conversation — moving beyond the glory days of Scotland's rave explosion and into the complicated story of what was happening behind the scenes.
Rab talks openly about his relationship with Callum Bright, the transition of Ultimate Buzz from two young guys travelling Scotland as a DJ and MC into one of the biggest names in the scene — and why something he once loved eventually became something he hated.
For the first time in this depth, Rab discusses the creative frustrations within Ultimate Buzz, discovering the business happening around him, money and royalties, the DJ tapes being sold without his knowledge, turning down a six-month trip to Australia and ultimately deciding to walk away from something he'd helped build.
But this isn't a story about settling old scores.
It's about two young men who built something together, became like brothers, made mistakes, fell apart — and never quite got the opportunity to properly put things right.
Rab recalls unexpectedly meeting Callum years later and the conversation that followed: an acknowledgement of what had happened, what had gone wrong and even the possibility of getting back into the studio together.
It would be the last meaningful conversation they ever had.
We also hear how Rab went on to prove himself creatively, releasing two EPs that reached the Top 10 of the Scottish dance charts, the origins of The Deejay Project and why, more than 30 years later, he's still making music with people he considers family.
This is the other side of the Ultimate Buzz story.
The success. The arguments. The mistakes. The friendship. The fallout.
And the question that can never really be answered:
What might have happened if Rab and Callum had found their way back to each other?

331 with Robert McLean (Part 1)
2026/09/09
“We were part of a movement.”
This week on The Hashtag Show, Scott sits down with Robert McLean — original member of Ultimate Buzz and now founding member of The Deejay Project.
Robert was there when Scotland's rave scene exploded.
Packed clubs. The Barrowlands. All-nighters. Tom Wilson. Steppin' Out. Ultra-Sonic. The Rhythmic State. Carl Cox. Vinyl. Sweat. Smoke. Strobes.
And thousands of young Scots who had absolutely no idea that the weekends they were living would one day become part of Scottish cultural history.
More than 30 years later, Robert looks back at the rise of Ultimate Buzz, the incredible Scottish rave community, being voted Scotland's No.1 DJ, why the DJ was once heard and not seen, and what he makes of today's world of superstar DJs, social media and pre-recorded festival sets.
But this isn't just about looking backwards.
Robert is still creating.
Today he's back in the studio as part of The Deejay Project — because while the clubs, technology and industry may have changed, the love of making music hasn't.

330 "Drug-Sniffing Rottweilers Could Save Glasgow"
2026/09/02
This week’s episode was supposed to be a brilliant three-hour conversation with Zoe and Kev from Lost Soul Tattoo Collective.
It is not.
Because Scott has, once again, discovered that owning thousands of pounds worth of podcast equipment does not automatically make you a sound engineer.
The cameras were pointing at foreheads.
The audio was destroyed.
And an entire interview disappeared into the great Hashtag Show technical graveyard.
So instead… it’s time for a solo episode.
And things get out of hand almost immediately.
🐕 Could drug-sniffing Rottweilers clean up Glasgow?
🍄 The terrifying drug stories we were told growing up
📱 Why social media might be better if nobody could comment, like or DM anyone
📺 Why podcasting was originally invented for people with faces for radio
🍺 Getting older and discovering that a night out now requires a three-day recovery plan
📱 Scott’s increasingly complicated relationship with Apple
🎟️ The explosion of online competition companies — and whether anybody actually wins anything
🎙️ Plus an update on the podcast, upcoming guests and the launch of our ROAD TO 1,000 campaign.

329 with David Forbes (Part 2)
2026/08/26
David Forbes Part 2 | A State of Trance, Hal Stucker & Scottish Rave Stories
David Forbes is back — and Part Two goes even deeper. 🎧🏴
After taking things right back to the beginning in Part One, this week we continue the story of one of Scotland’s most respected DJs and producers.
From the nerves of closing A State of Trance to the madness of the Scottish rave scene, Davie opens up about what actually goes into performing at the highest level — preparation, reading a crowd, adapting a set in real time and why, despite decades behind the decks, some gigs can still terrify him.
We get into:
🔥 Closing A State of Trance🎧 Reading a room and what makes a genuinely great DJ🎛️ Producing and performing almost entirely his own music💿 Why Davie spent YEARS not playing his own tracks👤 The brilliantly bizarre story behind Hal Stucker🏭 Hanger 13 and the Scottish rave scene📼 Paul Double Vision and the importance of preserving rave history📵 The incredible modern club nights recreating the 90s — vinyl, VHS, 35mm film and NO phones🌍 Life travelling the world as a DJ🏴 The new generation of Scottish electronic artists❤️ The gigs, friendships and memories that still mean the most.
And somewhere along the way we accidentally invent Ultra Masonic, the Forbes Rich List, discuss nightclub Rottweilers and pitch several business ideas that should probably never see daylight.
Standard Hashtag Show.
But underneath the madness is a fascinating conversation about craft, longevity and authenticity.
Because after more than three decades in music, Davie Forbes isn't simply living off what he did in the 90s.
He's still writing.
Still learning.
Still touring.
Still taking risks.
And still obsessed with getting it right.

2026/08/19
David Forbes | From Glasgow’s Mayfair to A State of Trance
This week on The Hashtag Show, Scott sits down with one of Scotland’s most respected and enduring DJs and producers — David Forbes. 🎧🏴
And this time… we actually remembered to record the whole thing.
From walking into Glasgow’s legendary Mayfair Club at just 17 years old with a handful of records, to producing music, travelling the world and eventually closing A State of Trance, this is the story of a man who has spent more than three decades completely obsessed with music.
🔥 The early Glasgow rave scene🎛️ Learning the craft of DJing and production💿 The records and producers that changed everything🏴 Scotland’s unique 90s dance music sound🎧 Why Davie almost walked away from the scene🎹 Developing his own sound as a producer🤖 AI, technology and the future of making music🌎 Touring Asia and performing around the world⚽ Football, Hampden and the other great obsession in Davie’s life❤️ Plus stories about Mallorca Lee, Mark Sherry and the friendships built through decades in Scottish dance music.
There’s also cheese. Square sausage. Chickens. Eggs.
Obviously.
What makes this conversation special is that behind the incredible career is still the same thing that started it all — a genuine obsession with music.
No masterplan. No chasing fame. No calculated career move.
Just a young guy hearing sounds he’d never heard before and thinking:
I need to be part of this.
More than 30 years later, Davie Forbes is still doing exactly that.

327 with Andy Cocozza from The Rhythmic State
2026/08/12
This week on The Hashtag Show, Scott sits down with Andy Cocozza, founding member of Scottish rave legends The Rhythmic State.
And what a story this is.
From two young guys in Livingston experimenting with keyboards and trying to turn the sounds in their heads into music, to creating some of the most recognisable tracks of Scotland's legendary 90s rave scene.
Andy takes us right back to the beginning.
🎹 The formation of The Rhythmic State🔥 The incredible story behind Power People🧼 How Soap on the Rope came together🏴 Hangar 13 and Scotland's legendary rave scene🎧 DJing, reunions and returning to the music❤️ Mallorca Lee and the friendships created through the scene🤖 AI, creativity and the future of music🎬 The unexpected new life of Rhythmic State's music❤️ And Andy speaks openly about living with MS, losing his hair through alopecia and the positive outlook that has carried him through it all.
There are brilliant stories throughout this one — but underneath the rave nostalgia is a conversation about friendship, creativity, getting older and what happens when something you made as a young man becomes part of other people's lives.
Andy describes himself and Nick as "a couple of wee lads from Livingston" who didn't really know what they were doing.
More than 30 years later, people are still dancing to their records.
That says everything.

🎧 The rise of Scotland's rave scene🎹 Producing Ultrasonic and the untold story of Bikini State🎙️ Working with Mallorca Lee and the friendship they shared🎼 How hit records are really made🤖 AI and the future of music production🏙️ Glasgow's changing creative scene🎤 Creativity, comedy and why the best ideas rarely arrive the way you expect

325 "Fear is a lie"
2026/07/22
Scotland is melting, the World Cup is reaching its conclusion and Gibbo has discovered that neither his body nor his wardrobe was designed for 28-degree heat.
This week’s solo episode of The Hashtag Show travels from fat-man summer fashion and painfully expensive restaurant meals to the strange fears forced upon Scottish children in the 1980s.
Why were we convinced dog shite would make us blind? Why did every television advert warn us about fishing rods touching electricity pylons? Where have all the albinos gone? And why does Glasgow increasingly feel like a city that has simply been given up on?
Scott also looks back on the World Cup, the brilliance of the Tartan Army, FIFA’s apparent love affair with Lionel Messi and why Cristiano Ronaldo remains the true GOAT. ⚽
Expect questionable government initiatives, childhood nostalgia, political frustration, football arguments and the usual collection of completely unhinged tangents.

324 "The Return of Uncle Joe"
2026/07/09
The Governor is back. 👑
For the first time in Hashtag Show history, we welcome back a returning guest as Scottish dance music legend Joe Deacon joins Scott for another completely unfiltered conversation.
What begins with terrible flights, airport chaos and the decline of modern life soon takes a trip through Glasgow’s past — from growing up in the Calton, first jobs and family life, to the legendary Metro days, packed buses heading to Saltcoats, Scottish rave culture and a generation that knew how to enjoy the moment without filming every second of it.
But this conversation goes much deeper than nostalgia.
Scott and Joe talk about family, discipline, father figures, raising children, becoming a grandfather, losing people as you get older, the changing face of Glasgow and the strange realisation that, eventually, you reach a point in life where you no longer have to do things you don’t want to do.
Funny, nostalgic, occasionally emotional and completely unpredictable.
This is Joe Deacon as you probably haven’t heard him before.

323 "Hearts & Minds"
2026/07/03
🏴 Scotland might be out of the World Cup... but did we actually lose?
This week Scott looks back at Scotland's unforgettable time in America, why the Tartan Army completely won over Boston, Steve Clarke stepping down, Peter Murrell heading to prison, surviving Scotland's ridiculous heatwave... and why maybe politicians could learn a thing or two from football fans.
Plus...
⚽ The greatest PR Scotland has ever had?🇺🇸 Boston's incredible letter to the Tartan Army🔥 Surviving Scotland's "Mediterranean" weather😂 Fenway Park, stolen Stellas and one unforgettable Scottish football chant☕ Peter Murrell's new business idea... Convict Coffee.
As always...
