It was actually pretty good, actually really enjoyed it. Very funny.
They were better musically than I thought and spent some time going through loads of 50s Rock and Roll, they were obviously really well practiced. Jerry Lewis, Elvis, Buddy Holly etc. Worth it for that alone.
All the band members were really up for it but the drummer (Romeo Challenger) looked as if he was thinking "well, it's this or tesco's tills".
The crowd was a total mix, 70 year olds who remember Rock And Roll first time round, really pissed 40 year old women who would have shagged them then and now, people dressed up as Teddie Boys and then folk like me who just about remember them always being on Saturday night TV and were there for a bit of a laugh.

Picked up just about the last 2 tickets last night, could hardly keep a straight face. This should be funny.

The sun going down caused the Highlandmen to advance on us like madmen, without shoe or stocking.
good to see not much has changed in 300 odd years. You ever been out in Inverness?

Ah - myself at the age of 18 in Pitlochry - as it was a summer seasonal job and it was very difficult to get any accomodation - I pitched a tent and lived rent-free in Glen Faskally for a couple of months - dear me - thirty years ago.... I recall back then the Theatre was running Brechts 'The Caucasian Chalk Cilcle' ....
BTW have you been to Quuens View - stunning place nearby - also a walk up Ben Verackie can be fun !

Bit you dont mind
Never been up the Queens View, I was planning on doing some walking but my main hiking jacket had to be taken back to the shop for repairs last week, the zip burst, I thought that they would just hand me over a new one but they said "we have to send it back to Belgium to the North Face factory" so no hiking for me.
I really struggle with the vertigo as well and had to be walked out the Killicrankie Pass with a near panic attack last year.

Originally posted by minestrone View PostGreat, great place, I usually stay up at the Moulin Inn just outside the town, try and drown myself in their own brewed ales while the gf sits and moans "is that you getting another one!?!?"
Usually go for a run round Loch Tummel when I'm up there although I cannot walk across the dam due to my vertigo.

I have a terrible desire to go and see them for some unknown reason, I blame it on this site.
