Dolphin Spotting




8th September,it was so quiet at work I decided to do some dolphin spotting in the Moray and Pentland firths.A week of looking in various locations resulted in no sighting--apparently the dolphins were in Lanzarote human spotting that week.

Banana Gig 10/8/2008




Box o Bananas

Sunday 10th August was the last Public gig ever by the excellent Box o Bananas at the Brightons Inn near Polmont,due to musical differences or Stevie being a prick the band is no more. This is the guy who wrote a book about the life of a bandmember(himself)and the very funny stories of wreaking havoc in hotel rooms etc.,but when Jock the Box did a bit of his own wreaking havoc Stevie boy decides to split up the band,eez a fud. Then he has the cheek to send Banana fans e-mails inviting us to watch his new band.FUD.
Anyway,the gig was brilliant and enjoyed very much by all the people there.Stevie if you ever read this you will lose yer FUD status if you reform the band,and I will stop deleting yer e-mails.

August

This August(Sat 9th) I tried something different,while the sheep(my pals)were all up in Inverness at the Tartan Heart one band music festival,I was at Glamis Castle getting a bit of culture at the classical music evening.This orchestra stuff with a real conductor was great.It was none of your heavy duty classical music ,but easy to listen too with a bit of Scottish traditional from Fiona Kennedy and a bit of awesome violin from Nicola Benidetti,then a bit of bagpipes and fireworks in the pouring rain.
22nd/23rd Campbeltown.Booboos right its rotten.2 years ago up in Campeltown it was the best ever,with bands like Sambayabamba,Saggy Trousers and Box O Bananas.This year it was bollocks,apart from the excellent pipe bands,the highlight was listening to a guy with an electric organ and a wee wummin singing in one of the hotels on the Sunday night.
