We took the high road...
We went to Scotland at the weekend - och aye it was fun, pal. Yup. Here's our ship's log. First, we drove for ten hours using dubious directions from Ian's Dad that involved Carlisle [that's on the OTHER SIDE OF THE COUNTRY from Edinburgh, doh]
Ten hours is a long time, so obviously we needed to stop many times for food and toilet breaks. Especially Mark. He's like a small child.
We got there really late, just before soundcheck for the first gig at Dogtooth. The people of Scotland were aware of our arrival and were very welcoming.
Of course, being Cornish, Tobias empathised with them and all was well. So well in fact that ALL the people of Scotland danced.
We played songs and Suzie G took some photos of us. The stage was low so we got to dance around in the crowd. We NEVER get to do that any more...
The Dogtooth girls played more tracks, everybody drank beer and danced, and I managed to take the only half decent photo of the night. Then some band played, but we'd never heard of them. They were RUBBISH
The next morning, we surprised our hosts by taking horrible photos of them on their laptops.
And then we went Touristing. Tobias is incredibly good at Touristing, and we always try and get a bit in when we go to new cities. He went to Edinburgh Castle.
and Greyfriars Bobby
He saw some bagpipers
and went down a close
and sampled the local culture
At which point, we all went to the pub for some Real Ale.
And then we played our second gig of the weekend, at Cabaret Voltaire. It wasn't as busy, but it was All Ages, and the people there were moving like Dance Bastards. It was great. But we don't have any photos of it, so here's us sitting in their REALLY NICE dressing room before the show.
One of the great things about All Ages nights is that they all end quite early, so we could all go out and drink afterwards. Tobias was so happy at this, his face melted. Mark and Ian watched in awe.
And then the next day we drove home for another ten hours. We took a tiny little road that took ages, but the screnery was well nice. It was raining though...
Ah, so Edinburgh was supersupersuper. The people were all lovely, and the dogtooth girls were AMAZING for putting us up BOTH NIGHTS. You should all go to Edinburgh.
The End

Hi, glad you liked our dancing at cab vol.
Will your records be in most shops or will i have to buy them off the internet?
sorry there weren't that many of us kids there, it would seem most of the youth of edinburgh lack good music taste.
HA
I'll find out about shops. They'll definitely be on the interweb though. Puregroove or direct from This Is Fake DIY!
