Hugh Trowsers Band LIVE 3rd February Campbeltown

[Jek Black]

Forum night oot?

Aye, I'm up for that a few quick ones down in the fermers bar or in Splash then up to the hall with all the forumites, would be great to get to know you all.

[CooBoy Troy]

Splash!!
Jek, even we over here in Texas know it plumb done aint called the Splash no more.....I'm not certain, but I'm pretty sure, it's called the Kinloch now......or was that before it was Splash?.....jeez, my ol' Cowboy brains are gettin' fried in this Texan heat....it's been a long time.

Anyway, I sure as heck wish I could be there with y'all...a beer in the Splash/kinloch then to the Rancher's Bar in the gig venue then up stairs with all my good ol' buddies from this here forum.....sounds good to me...but, alas, I am otherwise engaged that day.

Love Hugh Trowsers though.and George Futter's cowboy hat!

Hey cowboy, are you not meant to playing with the lovely Jewel tonight?

Maybe you can come do one of your raps in the middle of Ruin's Wheel next year at the Music Festival.........

[Ship called Dignity]

Got my tickets. Looking forward to seeing the HT band again.

How many tickets are on sale?

[Jek Black]

You're a wise man Davie P. I hear the tickets are selling fast.....dunno how many there are but The Argyll is not a big venue, better get in there quick friends.

I heard David McCallum (lead singer in the HTB) described as a camp cross between Axel Rose and Mick Jagger HOOT? camper than Mick Jagger!

Well, I have seen him in action and he is just as good a showman.

[CooBoy Troy]

Hell yea, I've heard from my good friends over there in Scotland that David McCallum is definitely campER than Mick Jagger

[hoots the scoop]

Hmmmm
I can see a joke coming here.

The Hugh Trowsers band are great. David McCallum is a real star for sure. The whole band have got star quality.

Well, you got it...

If I go to see the Hugh Trowsers Band on the first gig of their French tour I would not stay in a Quimper hotel.....no no I would be a Quimper camper.............

Well, well, I was just looking through all the photos I have - trying to find a decent one of David McCallum (hard thing to do, am telling ye!) and here is what I found. Trumpton Style! Uploaded it on to Youtube for you to enjoy.

That's great Davie P, great memories of that wet August night up there ...has it stopped raining since?....hardly would be the answer I think.

Anyway, Davie McCallum (wearing his Carradale FC strip) and the boys and Viviene, were on tip top form that night and will be the same on 3rd Feb.

You can just see Les on the left sneaking up to the stage for one clap of the hands before the song was done.....I think he and I were the only 2 drivers in the whole hall that night!

[jock the boat]

i hope so me and my grandchildren are going

For once I was allowed the car - really was a horrendous night for travelling and did not enjoy the drive home at all.

Quite amazing how the following day turned out for the event on the green!
