We'll be playing at the Foresthills in Auchtermuchty this saturday late and on Sunday we're playing an early evening music festival behind the After Dark nightclub in Kirkcaldy. It's been a month since I've even seen the rest of the band due to holidays so I'm looking forward to this weekend.

A superb day on Sunday. Bright blue skies without a breath of wind. The stage area makes us look like we're playing in prison;-)

We've since been asked to play at a bikers party!

Looks like you had fun-

What's it like giving birth to a Rogue on stage? I'm amazed that you were able to play through the pain. =)

You can tell by the look on my face ;-)

Graeme, your guitar players like the Marshals, I see. Looks like a blast. Big Crowd?

Oh yeah, where is your mic and mic stand? (lol)

David, the crowd was excellent. Lots of eye candy in their best summer clothes ;-) The best bit about playing outside was that all the passing traffic - on foot and motorised, stopped to listen. Apparently we could be heard halfway up the Esplanade 1/4 of a mile away too!

I don't need a mike - our drummer does enough singing and talking for the both of us.

Nice looking bass rig!

Thanks Dave. It's evolving though. I've now bought an F1X so the Eden may end up on ebay soon.

Big tuna hit the 'stage' again this weekend.
Saturday we'll be in Auchtermuchty, home of Jimmy Shand and the Proclaimers. (I would walk 500 miles to get away from the place to be honest)
Sunday we're playing a new(to us) venue - Bar None in Kirkcaldy.
For our US chums, these place names are impossible for non-Scots to pronounce correctly so i'll be keeping my mouth shut ;-)

Graeme,

I'd have to walk 500 more, I guess. The song also mentions 5,000 miles, so I'm not absolutely sure which way to go now.

As a Dutchman, at least I can reproduce a couple of the throat sounds pretty accurately.

Would've liked to see Kirkcaldy being brought to a halt by the rumble of that stack Jacko, - some family of mine live there, so I know it well,

Bar None is usually quite chilled - rip it up!
