malky, believe me - the davster knows as much about IT technology as you or i might know about Dr Quinestiens ongoing work on the metamorphisic studies within the gene pool of muppets and long-haired phnark-wobblers.

Now Joester, I've warned you repeatedly about that.... razors can be very dangerous and as far as I can recall you don't have an up to date waste transfer note for disposing of the bristles.

Shall we see you under the bridge this summer?

I'm thinking about setting up at the old trade again. The Rock n' Roll excess was too much for me

All the best, your friend and Tunnag Shrink

PS What all this about you cavorting with a 16 foot chicken? Dontcha know we live in dangerous times?

[joester]

nay, bobbly. perthshire council - on advice of natrual heritage - have deemed that i should have my very own 'bristle bank'. me and my chin are doing their bit. if there is a 'bristle mountain' its not by my chinny chin chin.

under the bridge?

16ft chicken. well i cant deny that! its the 'bootiful ploomige' you understand. could never tear myself away from a big bird.

A couple of snippets from The Hugh Trowsers Band as they set out to conquer the world

Firstly, the guys are playing a gig at The Bongo Club in Edinburgh this evening which will be streamed live on the internet at

The set should start around 10pm but if you miss it will still be available for later viewing at your leisure

Secondly, the “Gretna” single, Living the Dream, has gone into Radio 1’s Indie Chart at No. 26 .

If you click on the link below you will see they are keeping some good company......

That is brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good for the boys!

[Bobbie En Tejas]

I have it up, I do believe they are next. Or maybe I missed them It is only 10:15 there, but it looks like they were supposed to play before Information Control and they just played. Sure hope I didn't miss it.

Where are the Troosers?
How do we find them Les? what about the replay later?

[LO]

On just now folks (10.50) but having terrible problems with the PA - whoever is mixing i seems to have lost the backing vocals and Davie's guitar. They are handling it with reasonably good humour for now but if it goes on much longer, who knows what will happen. Shame!
I don't think my connection speed is fast enough - a lot of breaks in trasmission ....

[Annie]

I tried to have a look myself and could not find the troosers!

Who lost the troosers ...................

If you click live and then to the right of the window is an arrow. Click on that.

He just mentioned Campbeltown and Kintyre.

They were having some problems with sound, some feedback problems, I liked them okay…. but THEN! .... then they did the Robert Burns song, which blew me away, and then the fiddler’s song (One Hand in the Air?)!! Living the Dream live sounded great on the internet, liked it better than the recorded one. Really glad I watched. Would love to hear them live. Good job!

hello to all. was a wee bit hard work on the stage last night. the on-stage monitor sound was just horrid. for most of the gig i couldnt hear dave's vocal, nor his guitar. couldnt hear my vocal for the entire gig, and my bass was just a wash of noise on the stage. we were flying on the seat of our pants to be honest - and simply played it by memory of where we should be in each song. but all that aside - we certainly got through it. it's one of these things (often missed when your front of house) if the monitor mix on stage is pants, it makes the gig very very difficult indeed for the musicians. i've not seen the gig yet, nexusliveshow.com havent updated us to their archive yet - so i'll get a better perspective when i see it (interms of the mix front of house and on the net). for all you lovely fluffy people out there - keep up to speed with what we're doing on www.hughtrowsers.co.uk our placing on the BBC Indie Chart (sunday 7th may) has been great news. very encouraging. thanks to all again for the interest and the support.
joe.

Rhona and myself went up yesterday to see the boys, and they were great - it was one of those rare occasions when you could see Davie and not hear him...
We couldn't hear any of his vocals on the first couple of songs, but I didn't realise the rest of the band couldn't either so they really have to be commended on it being as seamless as it was.
They played the 'Living the Dream' video on the big screen before the gig, which is also supposed to be being shown on Tam Cowans 'Offside' on Friday night, and I think you can order the cd from the HMV website too.
Can't wait to see them again at the music festival and I'll post on here if I find out if they have any more gigs in Glasgow or Edinburgh.
