Hi Folks

Great to see a decent site now, been a while since I visited. Steve must have decided to make a site more worthy! Hope that you all are doin fine... Upset and greetin, sob, sob, that no Scottish dates have been added to the European tour, damn. Last time saw Steve live was in the famous Barrowlands Ballroom in Glasgow's Gallowgate awesome! Cant seem to add an image in here though not in my profile choices, ah well no image, no gig. Still the Whisky will drown my sorrows...again!...and again ... Halo round the moon...

Best wishes

Hi mate!

Steve played Scotland in January my friend. Sorry you missed the gig.

Barrowlands is perhaps THE coolest venue I've ever been to. Saw Mogwai & Motörhead there (not at the same time - although it would have been an interesting mix!).

Hi Bloodaxe

Thanks for the reply, sounds like my luck missin Steve's gig in January. Will have to wait my turn till next time!

Yeh the Barrowlands is a great venue, fantastic accoustics, seen loads there... The Cult, Soul Asylum, Steve E , Cracker and many more... Motorhead must have left your ears ringing for a while in that enclosed space.

Next event for me is T in the Park at Ballado http://www.tinthepark.com/ should be fun! All the best m8!

Oddly enough, Mogwai was actully louder (and better to be honest) than Motörhead, still good gigs both of them. T in the park had some cool bands this year, I would have gone to The Pogues, Primal Scream & Rage Against The Machine first and foremost. I'm sure you'll have a blast!

Only going to T in the P on the Sunday. Loved REM in the early days. Saw the Pogues with Shane on U2's Joshua Tree tour at Murrayfield they were all pissed but they were great they were promoting Rum Sodomy and the Lash, MacGowan came on stage and loads of folk threw tooth brushes at him... Want to see Alabama 3 (if they are doing Sunday too!?) , Kings of Leon, Primal Scream and the beer tent of course! Hope that the weather holds

Lucky bastid!!! Wish I could have been there. Wasn't Ian Rankin born in Fife by the way? I wonder what he's gonna do now since Rebus is retired? I hope Siobhan will be the new lead character. Sorry... slightly OT, better drink my coffee now, toodle-pip!

He was every inch a soldier every word was his command
Well his eyes were cold as the lead and steel forged into tools of war
He took the lives of many and the souls of many more

Jinky,

        Alabama 3 are playing on the Sunday.
