That will be a great night - we have seen them a few times, and they are quite special. Well worth the money.

Saw them at the Shindig, George Square Glasgow on St Andrews day.

Lashing of rain, but that did not deter the crowds who thoroughly enjoyed the nights entertainment. It will be a sell out I expect.

Aye ringo, mind the night we saw them in the islay inn - the amount o folk in there must have been illegal!
Should Scotland be an Independent country?

Yes, I believe Scotland is a country and should therefore govern itself.
No, Scotland is not a country it is simply part of the UK and should therefore be governed from London.

Just a quick post to confirm that the Vatersay Boys are playing at the Victoria Hall, Campbeltown on Friday May 30th this year.

The band from Barra who play to sell out crowds at the Barrowlands in Glasgow (pictured) intend to put on a show to suit all, starting the night off ceilidh style and finishing with, in their own words “a bit of a hoolie”. They have also asked that the tickets be priced at £10 to allow all ages to attend.

The hall will be laid out with tables and chairs, meaning tickets will be limited. At the moment we are just finalising everything but the tickets should go on sale from A.P. Taylors, Main Street in a few weeks. I will post up the date prior to them going on sale.

For more details phone Iain Johnston at 01586 552034 or email jigevents@hotmail.co.uk

Quick update to say that tickets for the Vatersay Boys Dunaverty Hall fundraising concert will go on sale in the next day or so, basically as soon as they arrive from the printers. I will post up when they become available.

There is huge demand for the tickets and it looks like it will be a full house as the capacity will be limited due to the table and chairs layout.

For more details check out the poster below.

Hi Everyone

That's the tickets all gone for this concert now, looks like its shaping up to be a great night.

I was speaking to the boys at the start of the week and they are quite up for it, they are on Islay until Wednesday and then they are possibly going to play a gig on the mainland on Thursday before coming down here for the show on Friday. If I hear any more on this I post it up.
