The Democrats were brilliant ............ fantastic night and great turnout!

heard that the hall had to have rock steady security? how ridiculous is that? they probably cost more than the bands? is this another cooncil attempt to price the hall out of exsistance?

hope the new cooncillors make the whole victoria hall scenario a priority

Totally agree ! I couldn't help but look at the plaque bequesting the Vic to the people of Campbeltown on Saturday night.

Certainly for my generation there's a bit of nostalgia. I can remember being totally underage but going to see whatever bands happened to be on, (and yes, Hostage were my favourite ).

Pubs are great for the most part, but the Vic is a well underused resource and it's usage shrouded in red tape and regulations.

Judging by the crowds at some of the things I've been to over the last few years, given the chance, there's a whole new generation ready and willing to breathe some life back into the place.

Had an excellent night on Saturday.

The vic is certainly under used. Especially after having the floor re-done.

I've only one problem about it, the toilets are a disgrace!

[Ninja Mania]

Yur right there pet, only thing is that its the weemins toilets that are a mess, never mind, at least you had a good night and plenty of drink ran doon your throt.

By the way SmithD, I was well impressed with the way you gave that patter merchant the knock back.

thanks for being old enough but still retaining a vestige of a memory with which to pay that compliment £3.73

hope the night went well, still, theres always the next time and i'm preparing my disguise to attend, it saves all the "are you home on holiday?" and "i thought you were dead" comments i usually get.

i was told that the security thing might affect the music festival, hope not, but having went toe to toe with rock steady at the worlds on glasgow green two years ago i think i'd feel safer with the bouncers we used to employ, spo, kecka, campbell and big phee, nobody was stupid enough to try to cause any trouble with them on duty, they were a damn sight cheaper than the cooncil "stewards" who got £17.50 each which was a good nights work in those days for standing at the back of the hall and disappearing at the first sign of trouble, i should point out that i'm not including my father in law in that category, he was a bit before my time. mind you the best bouncer i ever had was my own father, tho he did cramp our style somewhat, and made us clean the hall before we went home. that was his first and last.

if the cooncil insist on everyone using rock steady i suspect that will bring the hire of the vic for a night up to nearly £1,000, i'm sure they don't come cheap and could cost as much as £100 each for between 4 to 6 bodies. maybe i'm wrong but it would be interesting to know?

Our keyboard player says he saw someone filming with a decent looking video camera on Saurday night ??

Anyone know who it was, as I wouldn't mind a copy.

Thanks (in advance) again.

Dougie ??? Don't know about that !!!

You should see the nick of me these days :D:D

[general jack o'niell]

aye dougie, the other fla, ya galoot!!!! but come to think about it, he never was that slim so he's probably put on less than me, i'm surprised he even recognised me the last time i saw him? does he still sit with his hands folded across his belly like a big cuckoo?

I actually take offence at this comment; I think that the General doesn’t understand the Stress and Strain I have went through to obtain the perfect physique for an aged, smoking, drinking, and guzzling ex rock star.
Years I have trained with no thought for friend or family, did I go for the six pack, no I went the extra distance for the Keg, The cough, feeling out of breath, bad indigestion and off course the grey Hair all took years to achieve. So spare a thought for my dedication and commitment to become the ultimate ex has been.

The UltimateX Has-Beens .............. now THAT IS a band name !!!

lololol
