Pooks Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 I believe there was a review in the Times that week, mentioning the oil-slicked crowd (could have been about the time of the Braer). Whether it had anything to do with immense quantities of Guinness being poured over our heads I may never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deardron Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 AB/CD at the Clickimin (both times!!)Which AB/CD - British or Swedish?

Marvin Posted March 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 "The original" AB/CD - the british one. There is also an Irish AB/CD...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deardron Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 I think that the Swedish AB/CD is more original because they play their own material in the style of AC/DC. In fact they're really good!!! Check their links: http://www.abcdband.com/ http://on.to/abcd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What terrified me was just as the band (sparticus) got on stage a henny party arrived. Spent the next 30 seconds planning a quick getaway. Don't remeber it being windy though. Thought it was quite a fine night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Has everyone forgotten The Smiths at the Clickimin in 85? Bit biased but the Durutti Column was one of the best for me. Shooglenifty - their first visit to the Folk Festival when they were new and fresh. Delgadoes in the North Star were great as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
