Looking For Popular Scottish Music


Recommended Posts

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

No Billy Connolly?

You'll need the Evil Scotsman at the very least!!! LOL!

(It's a bit rude...and then some)

 

Runrig?

 

Hmmm, just found Evil Scotsman on youtube. I know he would love it... but Carmen says no.... :damn:

 

RunRig - Loch Lomond :-)

 

 

There's a massive list of Scottish Groups on Wiki.

 

I like the entry between "The Shamen" and "Shoogleniftly" :D

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.

 

Thanks again!

Jason
