Fannies were no bad, but biffy are pure guff. 😀

Hebridean is correct about skippinnish. Other than that hogmanay has been a travesty of itself for many years and the rollers do not represent a drop in standards

Why do the bands have to be from Scotland?

Isn’t that the whole point of BBC Scotland? A chance for talented artists from Scotland to get a platform?

Capercaillie??

Oh please.

It’s the Hogmanay show.
Hogmanay only happens in Scotland.

Put your Celtic cringe to one side for a day.

I’ve recently noticed that the best that the great ‘British Broadcasting Corporation’ can manage for seeing the New Year in is Brian Adams, who’s Canadian!

Well we got a cockney to open the Commonwealth Games so it’s not much different is it? At least the Rollers can make a claim of residence. And just be glad they never dragged out Annie Lennox!

Never listened to Capercaillie despite a mate being Vernals nephew (and knowing his daughter who is also doing her own gigging these days), stuff like that has never been particularly accessible to me.

I love a wee bit of Phil and Aly

Phil Cunningham told me an Accordianist Joke once.

An accordionist is booked to perform in a pub on New Years Eve. He plays the gig and every one has a great time. At the end of the night the pub landlord say “you were brilliant tonight, everyone had such a great time that I’d like to book you for next New Years Eve too” and the accordion player say “No problem. I’ll just leave my accordion here then”.
