Glasgow = Carnage...!!!!

Seriously, if anybody in the UK wants a FREE signed copy of Stormy Weather and/or signed copy of the Japanese import of Siberia, and assuming P&P ain't gonna be expensive then they can have them...

Before anybody else asks - have already agree to send them out, probably tomorrow - so they have or are about to be gone, gone, gone.

Will you be revealing the identity of the scrounger?

[the ghost of guitarplayer]

No... not really a scrounger as such as I am giving the damn things away free. Perhaps I should have charged - could start another business scam there, signed Mac rolled up towel, signed Mac cigarette dogend, electric fan purported to be the one used for the 2008 Ocean Rain gigs, a broken guitar string "off Will Sergeant's guitar", an envelope containing pubic hairs with a.... ahem... "signed certificate of authenticity". The possibilities and a long line of suckers, I mean customers, are endless.

Glasgow sounds wild ! Travelled over from Belfast for the Brum gig -had a great day - Birmingham a great city -totally changed and we got totally pissed and a great gig-Mac in top form.Who knows what the future will bring?

This is from the grateful recipient of my other ticket:

McCulloch totally pissed, ranting incoherently for most of the night. Appeared to break down in tears at one point, tried to pick a fight with a fan, tried to start an argument with Will Sergeant, couldn't finish the set and therefore, criminally for a night billed as "Ocean Rain Live", didn't actually play Ocean Rain!

There were a few half-decent moments earlier on, when he was still just drunk (as opposed to completely plastered), but overall it was tragic.

A few other reviews for your amusement:

On the upside, it was certainly a unique experience and a talking point!

My holiday reading included a decent biog of Stuart Adamson, another 'tortured soul'(RIP). Interview from 1984- 'there are only 4 rock bands in the world today-us, U2, Simple Minds and EATB'. Prompted about The Smiths, he says ' I feel for Johnny Marr as a guitar player, cos I know what its like to be in a band where the singer makes a prat of it'. interviewer says 'that's unfair, Morrissey's a great writer'. Adamson replies 'Aye, so was Jobson'...reckon you could easily swap out the names Marr and Morrissey and stick in Sergeant and Mcculloch

No bootlegs available?... Even the YouTube clip got taken down.
