A Scot's band's tribute to football legend Eusebio was played in front of more than 60,000 fans in Lisbom last night. Two members of the Hugh Trowsers Band got the song, Eusebio, aired after putting in a request to Benfica officials. It was played at half-time in the Benfica-Celtic match as the Benfica and Portugal legend, now 64, appeared alongside the surviving members of Celtic's Lisbon Lions. Back home, Perthshire songwriter David McCallum was thrilled to learn the song he wrote for his band had been played. David, 41, said " It came to me almost as a vision and the Benfica-Celtic game seemed the ideal time for it to be played" "

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, now then Jek, what if David McCallum decided not to stay in the 5 star hotel booked for them by their management team? or even in the camper van they drove all the way from Muthill....what if he also decided to stay in that their camp site in a tent right beside you?

Would he then be a camper Quimper camper?

[Jek Black]

Well, now them Troy, what if David was making his way from the toilet block back to the tent he was sharing with Joe Meechan, and he got caught in a shower of Quimper rain would he then be a damper, camper, Quimper camper.........

[Hugs Thistles]

Well, now them Troy, what if David was making his way from the toilet block back to the tent he was sharing with Joe Meechan, and he got caught in a shower of Quimper rain would he then be a damper, camper, Quimper camper.........

Right! That's it! Someone's in fer a good kicking. No-one puts McCallum and damper in the same sentence without suffering the consequences. Fair enough with the Joester as his pants are in a semi-permanent state of dampness, but McCallum! No Sirrah. Forsooth ye will suffer, nay hurt, for that scurry and some more methinks in glad red tiding.

BRING ON THE GIG! We are bouncing as never before and we've got some surprises fur yez. Oh yes!

Allez! Salut maintenant!

[4th gen Suthen']

Right, Troy and Jek Black.....see what you've done....yeev just annoyed Hugs Thistles with your idiotic ,word play carry on......quimper, campER camper damper.....youz are baith droll.....nobody has a CLUE what you are on about........

Glad to hear the HTB are all set and bouncing, it is going to be a great night for sure.......check some of their songs on MySpace folks....you will notice that one lassie is complementing them for their lyrics on Ruin's Wheel.............aye, they are good right enough.. and seasonal for a' that..........

So, back to this imaginary scene in a Brittany camp site...

..... even though David is the damper, camper, Quimper, camper, hamper...... his performance? I DONT think so.

[Bobbie En Tejas]

..... even though David is the damper, camper, Quimper, camper, hamper...... his performance? I DONT think so.

Oh, put the old boy in the hotel, so you can pamper the damper, camper quimper camper and not hamper the performance..

[4th gen Suthen']

That'll need to be the end of the Camper camper damper quimper hamper stuff....well, nobody can add to that......can they?!!

Anyway here is some stuff from the Feeshul HTB site.

These guys play adult-oriented guitar pop and do it rather well.

Song writing is out of the top drawer: Lively lyrics are delivered in a strong identifiable vocal, jangly guitar hooks galore & distinctive sax riffs interplay, beautiful piano and Hammond organ, distinguishable percussion you'd struggle to believe possible, and honey-coated harmonies reminiscent of 60s acoustic pop - an angelic female voice blending with 3 part male vocals like a good Scotch and water.

This Scottish band has two distinctive faces. The first truthfully handsome with a clever catchy fun pop structure delivered smoothly and immediately on the first hearing; and the other face dark haunting and wailing like a spectre having a bad day at the crypt. It's all in the blend: The music has several levels and timelessness eternal - where space, openness and melody are used to accentuate the quality of the expensive production. Then that very space is taken forcibly and contorted into an argument between voice, saxophone, wah-guitar and fiddle in a dissonance that will leave you breathless.

The Hugh Trowsers band has absorbed the best of the 70s 80s & 90s and have forged themselves a modern niche. A place where those blessed with the colour of memory will identify with the sound in a unique luxurious nostalgia.Those fresh to the world may hear it pure and free, and can take time to dream.

The circle is unbroken..
