Good place's to go in Scotland ...

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

... apart from the airport

 

I'm in Edinburgh on friday night and Glasgow saturday night, my evenings are sortd as I'm at gigs but what about afterwards, any ideas?

 

BTW I may well have early 90's legend Jimbob with me Saturday and he's 40+, so bear that in mind.

 

Should be OK Saturday day as I'm staying in the Hilton so I'll just laze by the pool.

england.

[Chubbhead EFM]

Well, I only spent a night in Edinburgh, but I did manage to go to a lovely curry house called 'Shalamar'. I think it's near the Haymarket pub, but I'm not sure. MKJames may be your man for this one.

jody watley wasnt serving was she?

[Chubbhead EFM]

No, I don't think she was! What songs did Shalamar do? I have a feeling they were a reggae-style group, am I right?

[Big J R]

No Chubs ! Definitely not Reggae.

 

Uptown Soul Classics, such as:_

A NIGHT TO REMEMBER

THERE IT IS

DEAD GIVEAWAY

FRIENDS (Brill !)

OVER AND OVER

I OWE YOU

TAKE THAT TO THE BANK

 

and so on; and so on...........

[Chubbhead EFM]

aha! Does 'Night to remember' go 'get ready tonight, I'm gonna make it a night to remember'.

[Northern Monkey]

yes

[Chubbhead EFM]

good.

It's been 3 years since I last went up, Edinburgh nitelife was the bollox, the festival was on, everywhere was rammed. I'm going in a couple of weeks though Thornsy, so if you spot anywhere decent let us know.

Glasgow I know nothing about.

Who you gonna see?

[bigboybubs]

as i'm half a sweaty, one of the best plces in glasgow is in and around argylle street, or if u just want pubs try shawlands

 

--------------lager doesn't get u drunk-----------------

hic!!!! buuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!

[Big J R]

The best place to be in Glasgow, is about 30 miles away !

 

Paisley Road West ?? Forget it !!

 

Give me Dundee or Edinburgh any day !

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

We went to see Jimbob on both nights (new album reveiwed in NME this week by all accounts)

 

left the gig at 1am in Edinburgh to find the city deserted (I thought everywhere was open late?!?)

 

Went to a club in Glasgow called "The Cathouse" which is a kind of indie club.

Stayed in the Hilton, threw up in their sink!

 

Both good gigs though!

[Chubbhead EFM]

I've heard of that club, I think Oasis played there once.

[YELLOW]

I think the live version of I am the Walrus on the Masterplan was recorded there.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

There's a story about that, YELLOW. It wasn't recorded there at all. In fact, it was recorded in the studio as a live demo, but they just decided to add the "live" bit to the sleeve of the single for effect.

 

 

[YELLOW]

Yeah after I'd said that I read the sleeve notes on The Masterplan and apparently it was recorded at a conference for Sony executives. It says any looseness in Noel's guitar playing is probably down to the half a bottle of Sony financed gin!!

 

P.S Good to have you back Colin, it's been a bit quiet without you (apart from the 100 plus posts from the dodgy Uncle and his sidekick)

I'm guessing that only Laz and Zeal will have ever heard of that brand before...
