Doing a Sunday afternoon on the old Renfrew Ferry,Glasgow Tickets £5 or £19.95 with 2 course lunch!

It is mainly fun....trying not to fall out with 8 other souls!!!

First gig of the year and back in Stramash,Edinburgh. 3rd time for our band SHOUT! Not as busy as before but still a decent turnout! Mild amusement in the dressing room as our trombone/trumpet man told us how he got told off and nearly ejected from a city centre pub for using a vape! He then proceeded to stand just offstage and do the very same thing! Cue fire alarm and knock on door from security! Lucky for us he was ok about it! Been in similar situations and a couple of fire engines have pulled up outside! All good though! Black Is Black SHOUT! Live Stramash,Edinburgh.mp4

From a great wee gig at The Bungalow,Paisley. SHOUT! do Rescue Me SHOUT! Rescue Me.mp4

Stuck a recording on a mini disc (remember them) and used that one year when I used to DJ. Tried playing it from a recording on a CD one year before and the CD was scratched! It stuck a wee bit! In fact I think there are still folk out there holding their glasses up waiting for the chimes...

Yip...it was a mixed crowd but he was playing mainly for the younger ones.....that said he played some stuff from TTF which was out in 1993!! But folk started leaving when he went on after us. There was still enough to finish the night with although we had to drop a few songs to take it up to finishing time at the pub!

Cheers mate! We really enjoyed it and in fact splashed out on a glass of water between sets Well.....we are Scottish!!

Played with our 9 piece 60's band SHOUT! Last night in a pub called The Spateston Inn in Johnston just outside Glasgow. Busy night with punters and a Christmas night out from a local supermarket! The guitarist thought it was very funny seeing them in their ''civies'' and was tempted to go up and ask where the bacon was....We just about fitted in and lucky for us our keyboard lad was given the night of to see Madness (The band not the illness!!) So....8 band members stuck in a corner whilst the resident DJ had much more room and plenty of tables! He played for about and hour,we did an hour then were off for another hour! Far too long a break and we had to endure ear shattering techno (down with the kids man!) music! Good night had by all,nice buffet I recommend the egg sarnies! SHOUT! Higher and Higher..mp4

Ask Santa for one.....and a Stingray!

Cheers lad!

From a few weeks ago in Paisley, Scotland. Rocking a Musicman Stingray and a suitable suit!

Trip to Edinburgh with the 9 piece band SHOUT! Played at STRAMASH. Great venue packed with mainly young lads and lassies! It's a student area so no surprise. Stage was ok. There is 9 of us as mentioned so it can get a bit tight at times. I managed to clout one of the singers in the back of the head....but no damage to the bass which was a Godin Classic Shifter. Nice to have some free beer and water as well! Back there in January and looking forward to it! SHOUT! Rescue Me.mp4

If this happened in Scotland the band would have broken up the band leader....
