[kintyre 84]

What a night!
There were 8 of us there and we all had the best time.... I have not danced so much for years!!
Great fun and great bands.

Well done the organisers!

[Walt Jabsco]

My feet are still sore from non stop dancing! Despite the rather disappointing turnout due to a number of factors the crowd who were there, enjoyed a band who knew how to work the crowd and entertain. Musically it was a joy to hear a proper band with a brass section that packed a punch, a rythmn section that kept the beat going, excellent keyboards and a lead singer pulling it all together. This r 2 tone I salute you! As Kintyre 84 has already stated it was a brilliant night to dance and " enjoy yourself " Too many highlights to mention but particular favourites for me anyway were " Little Bitch" "Guns of Navarone" "Baggy Trousers x2" " Lorraine" "Special Brew" " It Must Be Love" " Nigh Boat To Cairo" oh hell there was not one bad song all night the whole playlist was superb. To all the folk who thought about going but did not turn up what a night you missed out on. Saw the P bopping along to a couple of numbers with a huge grin on his face, where was the camera when you need it?
The band deserve enormous credit for giving it all, all night. MOKFEST committe please please please, we must have this band back for next years survivors cos I believe it would, going to be controversial here,take a tired and played out formula for Survivors, to another level. IMHO
Q. How many people can you fit on the stage in the Vic?
A. Too Much Too Young ....and old eh Floory

[thefloorys]

never to old for that music, but the bones are telling me something haha, great night

[Ross]

Can't agree more with the previous post what a brilliant band. Got to get them back for the festival some time, havent danced around as much as that in quite a while, its amazin how many of the tunes i remembered

[RudeRon]

suuuuperb Brilllliant!!!night well glad that I travelled almost 150 miles to see them mind you there was also a couple that I was talking to that had come from Livingstone which is in West lothian.. Honestly this band get better and better evey time I see them, this is now my third time seeing them. Few new songs in the set as well that I have not heard them do My Girl ,Lorraine and Little Bitch.like the guy above has said they were all brilliant. Great atmosphere as well must have been about 300=+ there although was a big hall. Looked on the their website and they are doing a few gigs in October and one at the Renfrew Ferry IN OCT28th will definitely be at that one, canny wait already . By the way was my eyes deceiving me or was there a guy on the stage at the end in the nude Now for my sins off to see Billy Joel tonight in Glasgow gotta keep the wife happy

[Walt Jabsco]

Your eyes did not deceive you, there was a nude person on stage at the end, I believe not a local, didn't mention it before cos there was not much to speak of!!! or so the wife told me. A bit surreal seeing the steward chase a naked man off a stage with 30 people on it, while the band played " Enjoy Yourself" and as was the case " its smaller than you think"

[Ninja Mania]

Have to say my bit in agreeance with all of the above statements, it was a brill night, along with Deacon Blue they have been the best 2 nights entertainment we have had in the Toon for ages, well from outside bands anyway.

But surely if your a local you have to admit Catch 22 kicked it off superbly, they were brilliant.
My mate Scotty from the big smoke says that they were as good as any support band he has heard before, so a BIG WELL DONE LADS goes out to you all.

Great night, great fun, great weekend, we felt like we were abroad on holiday, it was pure dead special with loads oh madness thrown in... ....

[Ship called Dignity]

Aye, alot of people missed a very very good night. Here are a couple of photos from the night - not the best but gives you an idea of the atmosphere - especially the last song with a crowd on the stage.

Well done Iain by the way!

This is just a quick note to say thanks to everyone who turned up for the concert and also everyone who helped me out on and around the concert day.

This was my first solo concert as J.I.G. Events and although I have been putting concerts on as music co-ordinator for the Music Festival for years as well as the Peatbog Faeries with the Dunaverty Hall doing this one myself still needed favours called in.

The feedback from the audience and both band’s has been great so I intend to follow this one up with another concert later in the year, I will post up information as soon as it is arranged.

Due to good vibes from all I also intend to bring This ‘R’ 2-Tone back to the Wee Toon again sometime next year.

I forgot my camera, thanks Davie for posting some photos up, possibly if anyone else has any more photos we could even find out who our mystery streaker was!!!

Again thanks to all who supported me on my first solo gig.

Nice pics, Davie.. but.... but.. where's the naked guy?

[Ninja Mania]

You cant see him T.j as he is taking the pictures,

[Bobbie En Tejas]

Davie!! I should have known!

I can see it now, the next festival will be a Spencer Tunick or Alistair Devine project.

[Campbeltown Airshow]

Sounds like a really good night, Iain next time make sure the airshow aint on so i can go!

Anyway anyone got a picture of the naked guy? The reason i ask is i know who he was & i wasn't even there, i need it as a wind up, so if anyone has one can they please PM me.

Well done Iain i know you also put a lot of hard work into this.

[Ninja Mania]

If you know who it is pm me with a name as proof, and I will send you a photo that will make you eyes water.
