A committee of Scottish and Communist plate-throwing residents have clubbed together to hire the scout hut and got top Scottish father and son band The Proclaimers to perform. To save money the band are walking all the way to the gig (500 miles or so) from their “sunshine” retirement home in Leith near Glasgow, so if you can’t make the gig you may seem them on shanks pony coming to town. Tickets they are selling like hot haggis, i’m told the committee have even had letters from America requesting some. See you there, G. Grimsby. Mayor and big fan Scottish duos
