vokf 0 Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Hi Guys, I'm playing my local pub this Friday, and have found out that its my landlords birthday. He's a proud scottish guy, and is up for a laugh.. He's in his 50's, so older is better -but he obviously enjoys most types of music. So... I'm on the hunt for some Scottish bands/music. So far, I have the following; -Bay City Rollers -Rod Stewart -Proclaimers -Andy Stewart -Travis -Simple Minds -Texas -Wet Wet Wet -Average White Band -Big Country -Deacon Blue -Del Amitri -Primal Scream Probably looking for any other popular bands and/or tracks - I won't play them all, but will probably run a medley to cram quite a few in to the last 30mins. Any tips welcome! Thanks, Jason Link to post Share on other sites

vokf 0 Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Thanks Dan, Jim and Mitch - very helpful. I played some - but was caught by surprise with a fairly busy night, and I was planning on playing these tunes from Midnight until my end (12:30). However, there were a few Ska funs in, and I played a selection of Ska and some Reagge, leaving no time for anything other than Queen (Landlord loves queen). I DID play; Deacon Blue Travis Anne Lenniox Del Amitri Big Country No proclaimers - I brought the lyrics to 500 miles, he normally sings it at Karaoke, and was planning on using the vocal removal feature on the mixer for an ad-hoc Karaoke session... However, he was busy serving, and I wasn't sure if he would be up for it. The tracks will come in very handy though. I've a few more bookings this year, and should be booked next year too.
