It was just useless information
I bet if the owner was still alive he'd regret not having kept hold of it for a few more years

I keep looking back at this thread to see if it's all been revealed to be a hilarious wind-up.

Oh my gawd
This isn't a joke is it
Not sure what to say, just looked at the website and there's no mention of Big Country at all

Aaaah its all making sense now. I thought a chinese restaurant in a scottish bar was a bit weird, but a thai one...well thats just traditional innit

Well the Thais eat insects, so do the Chinese. The Scottish eat haggis and fried mars bars

"Cutting edge Celidh music' my arse. Short of appending a chainsaw to the front of a fucking fiddle there's no accuracy in that phrase. It'll be the same gawdawful retro parpy Celtic heritage nonsense wheeled out to students, tourists and nationalist simpletons. So that's the aforementioned (fucking) fiddles and bastard bagpipes, perhaps with the odd 2nd rate singer/band who happens to have passed through Scotland. Perhaps we may even get to see some Riverdance rejects do one of them new fangled Highland jigs. McWhoopee!
It's not my worst nightmare Gabi, but a surreal one tempered with real sadness nonetheless. Are you still convinced that it won't change that much and that the regulars will be happy to sit and enjoy a live jock music attack 'every night?' Christ save us and our ears.

My thoughts exactly.tarannau said:
I was thinking about this. Maybe they wont change the pub that much to begin with....if there's no music in the day, I can imagine sitting down in the garden to have a pint. But as soon as the fcuking bagpipes start up, i'm off down the Effra for some proper music, or Mango Landin for a chiled out pint.tarannau said:
The buggers.
I can't believe they are doing this!
I tell you what Tarranau, we're gonna have a fcuking proper party in there before the jocks take over.

Absolutely. We're not going down without some noise!!
I'm hoping the hob will still be open for the bank holiday - could be a blinding weekend
I should think that the owners better have very thick skin and cloth ears to survive the onslaught in the early months. And good bouncers too.
Still, it'd be interesting anyhow - I'd wager this be the first time that a hefty number of regulars ask the bar to 'turn it down' at every occasion.
Proper party Hatter? The resistance hasn't even started. The RDK rig's being moved to the Conservative Club to drown out the sound of Wee Willy's bagpipes on opening night, the local youths will be resplendent in 'No Jock' sweatshirts and I've paid the little rasta by the station to mutter 'Scottish is paedophiles' at regular intervals.
First fucker on the bagpipes is going down in a hail of (fried) chicken bones and festivals...

There's a lot of Dark Ages anti-Scottish crap on this thread, but your bile is possibly the most bitter. Fucking moron

Have a look at their website and tell me that it isn't Dark Ages Scottish crap.
FWIW I think there's more to Scottishness than fiddles, bagpipes, overused Burns poetry and exceptionally bad beards, not that you'd know it from the Hootanany website - the Saor Patrol video's a particular cracker.
And get over yourself, I'm half Welsh, but if some tosser wanted to open up a 'cutting edge Celtic bar' with an outdated notion of Welshness, all harps, daffodils and women in funny pointed hats, then my reaction would be exactly the same. It's not the Scottishness that's necessarily the problem, more the gawdawful branded 'authentic' Scots folkiness and the fact that their business plan seems to wipe out a good racally mixed local in a residential neighbourhood in favour of all encompassing naffness.

Shucks, that's so sweet!!!! Certainly forgives your earlier throwaway paedophile line and stuff. And half Welsh, eh!!!! Good for you.
