    I saw them in concert in Aberdeen, Scotland sometime around 1986. Nothing un-PC about that show. Great performers. My favorite song of theirs is "I will go" The lyrics are great, but their singing of it, which as I recall was accompanied only by drum, was quite moving.

    Hey all, I'd thougth I'd let everyone know I'm going to a SciFi/Gaming convention here in Springfield this weekend called Visioncon. What this has to do with this thread is I'm going this year dressed in my Belted Plaid (plus there are a few other guys there who will most likely be kilted sometime over the weekend) and every year I do a song and dance at the masquerade. This year I've decided to sing my own PC version of the Corries comic 'Scotland the Brave' so here are the lyrics, the ones in bold are the ones I've changed to make a little more PC.


    Land o’ the purple heather
    Land o’ the dirty weather
    Land where the midges gaither
    Scotland The Brave.

    Land where they wear there tammies
    Andy Capp and Saturday’s Sannies
    Land where they sell their grannies
    Scotland The Brave.

    Used to say in Faithers day
    You could hear the bagpipes play
    But now you hear the regal tones
    O' Elton John and the Rolling Stones.

    Land that is full of stinkers
    Hendrick’s Gin and VP drinkers
    Whisky put a lot o’ stinkers
    Into Scottish graves.

    Land that is full o’ skivvers
    Comic Singers, deep sea divers
    Tours by our bus con drivers
    Scotland The Brave.


    Land o’ the brutal bobbies
    Councilors wi’ part-time jobbies
    Architects wi’ paying hobbies
    Scotland The Brave.

    The tourists come here every year
    To see all our historic gear
    But all they see is loads o’ navvies
    High rise flats wi’ concrete lavvies.

    Land o' the “Artic” lorries,
    Andy Stewart, and ra Corries
    Land where everybody borries
    Scotland The Brave.

    Land o’ the Kilt and Sporran
    Underneath there’s nothing worn!
    How I wish the wind was warm!
    Scotland The Brave.

    I must admit it’s pretty gruesome
    Walking around with a frozen twosome!
    It’s all we’ve got we musn’t lose ‘em!
    Scotland The Brave.

    Conservatives try to assure us
    Labour’s hard put to endure us
    The kirk puts curbs on our enjoyment
    Government makes unemployment!

    Never mind, the day is near
    When independence will be here
    We’ll drink a toast in Youngers Beer
    To Scotland The Brave!

    I'll let you guys know how the weekend went next week!
