OMG!!!! This should be good fun!!!

Goodness time to look out the Red and White jumper with Bay City Rollers on it!!

I loved the Bay City Rollers when I was a teenager. My whole room was decked out in paper and magazine posters and tartan scarves!

Should be great night!

Remember the troosers with the tartan on the bottom and the braces! OMG!! What a flash back!!!

I heard this event has been cancelled, as only 80 tickets sold.

Yes - Craig confirmed last night he has cancelled the gig.

Personally think it is a bit premature - there is so many other things going on in the next couple of weeks that I think most people would have bought tickets the week of the concert. Have spoke to a number of people and they all said the would be going.

Think it would have been a good laugh.

Aww that's a shame! I know loads of folk were going to go, hadn't even thought about buying tickets yet.

[EileenH]

I went for tickets today and was told it was cancelled. I'm like alot more that left it a bit late. Maybe if the tickets were only for sale for a limited time then more might have been sold.

[the ice maiden]

I'm gutted-bought my tartan weeks ago for an outfit-maybe if I had to buy my ticket then things would have been different!
Oh well DP you better make sure I've got tickets for the Saturday night then

[Ship called Dignity]

Aye, it seems everyone wants tickets now. I had a phone call this afternoon from one of the lads in Dundee who are coming for the weekend for the Tartan Army Sevens and they are sharing a bus with the Perth lads and were looking for over 50 tickets for it.

Oh well DP you better make sure I've got tickets for the Saturday night then

I'll pass on your message Ice Maiden but as you know it is for members only. There won't be a public sale of tickets for the Saturday night as we are expecting 200 visitors to the town and that means we only have 200 tickets for sale to CTA members.

You could always do a shift in the bar or help out.

That is a right shame.......Craig should be hugely applauded for his enterprise and imagination and enthusiasm, Campbeltown needs more people like Craig. . ......pity this one did not work out but he had to make the decision now I suppose. I hope there will be other times..........what are Showaddywaddy doing these days? and Suzi Quatro? anyway, good on you Craig...keep at it.

Reminds me a wee bit of the Jimmy Tarbuck show.......as soon as it was cancelled everybody said they were going to go....

I`m in mourning now,i was looking forward to it as well,slightly before my time though but i heard they were excellent on theyre day.

I wish Craig would book Carl Douglas,i know all the words to his song as well (kung fu fighting)
ohhohoho ohohoho,i`m gone solid gone

[elainemck]

Yes, well done to Craig for getting these bands etc. Although someone should've posted on here that they needed to get tickets asap or something to make sure it happens. Pulling it a month early is a bit drastic, it's a shame

£17? why does it seem that every music event in the vic feels like total extortion on your wallet? i think i'll keep that £17 for the pub!
