Wet Wet Wet 20th July 2012

hello, well Friday night I went upto Wet Wet Wet at Glasgow Green. I left at 3.45 fae Auchinleck and got to Buchanan Bus Station 5.15. I got a taxi out to Glasgow Green which was £5.20 I knew at this point the last train was 11.15 from Glasgow Central and it could be close. I got down to the gig and ran into some mates who went "why are you here", (I hadn't told them) and I go silly question, they asked how I got up, bus and I asked "how are you going back", they drove so got a lift home (great, no trains which I would have missed or night bus and £30 taxi to get home). Raintown started first at 5.45pm roughly (that was me just there). They won a competition on Real Radio (which I don't get easily unless I use computer). They were very good and a great start to the night. The take aways were about £5 which wasnt that bad. I didn't head to beer tent (lots did which meant VERY LONG WAITS). Red Sky July were a good county band and wernt bad but it kept the pace going which was very good. James Walsh finished the warm up acts and he was very good (from Starsailor). We got Wet Wet Wet at 8.45, they had fireworks and whole stage of graphics, big televisions and Marti and the boys were amazing. If you want a large review on the gig, go someone else. What I do think I think there will be a DVD of the gig (or there should be). The gig finished just after 11pm. Here are my photos from the gig:- I also did a video of American Pie The other thing I am going to say Kelly Ann Woodland was reporting from the gig at 6.15pm on STV News and I took a photo of her. I thought Mrs Woodland looked about 5ft 3in and me being 6ft 3in would look tall and I wimped out of asking to get a photo with her. I didn't not know she would be there reporting. I tweeted the picture to currentbunsuk which martin retweeted (cheers) and this morning I have done some caps from Kelly Ann piece on STV News. So it was a great night. I got to sleep after 2am after a great night.

July - the month ahead

This is my lovely look north weather calendar with I bought from Paul Mooney in Carlisle and this is what is on it this month. Well we start with this Saturday, the 7th July and when I goto see Peter Andre and headliners Steps at hamilton Races. On Tuesday their live album appeared on spotify, so I have been geeting ready for it by listening to it and making plans to get their and back (easier than actually doing). Monday 9th the Rugby Club S2 team have a tea bingo in St Johns Chapel Hall. Tickets £1.00. I might even volunteer to help them. I haven't got a lot of prizes for them or play bingo. Friday 13th (yeah I know) has the club Annual General Meeting and i hope we get lots of people there. Next from the Saturday I am going through to see Mum and Andy in Fife at their new home. i haven't actually been to it yet, and this is about the only time I have been able to pencil in. On Friday 20th I am going to Glasgow Green to see Wet, wet, wet and I am old enough to remember them. Its going to be fun. Wednesday 25th July is a busy one. Frank and me are going to Sorn Inn (as long as it is open) for lunch. In the evening its the Cumnock RFC Quiz, here is hoping we get back to our winning ways. Next day is the Olympic Football at Hampden for Spain game. I think I might need to head to Glasgow early especially with all the security precautions being set up. I hope I see some superstars in the Spanish team. Friday 27th July is a quite morning/afternoon followed by at the opening of Auchinleck Festival and Jai McDowall is the main artist in Auchinleck Indoor bowling club, just down the bottom of the street (easy to walk home then). So I am going to be busy then. Remember my twitter is on public (which is getting me more replies) so follow me @thomasc1973 but spammers I don't follow or I may even block so don't bother. You can scan my QR code as well.

So whats been happening

Well I had better catch up with you guys and girls. firstly my twitter is on open most of the time now, so follow me @thomasc1973 Last week BBC Iplayer changed its live feed to go back 2 hours. It means I can pause it and not have to rush through to get 6/8 images when I can take my time and get the right ones and about double the amount. Thankfully we are getting nearer summer so I like the outfits. I went and saw Prometheus 3d, I didn't realise before I went it was the prequel to Alien. I wouldn't say it's a bad movie, but I picked the wrong one for me. It is a 15. On Sunday we had at the club our awards day for the youth, that was a long day. From being there about 930am until finishing doing stuff at about 4pm, I was kept busy. We set up marquee after the grass had been cut on Thursday was up quite early. We got the sound desk sorted out by about 1045, so I was happy when we finished that, even if the boys switched the power off when I was working on it. I got the last bit of bacon for my roll as all the other coaches had got their first (typical me). I did enjoy my coffee in peace as well though. The micros had a great game and we started selling raffle tickets. David, me and couple of boys sold them during the touch games. After we all came back up I went back to sound desk and played some tunes, which I could accept everyone could listen to. Payphone by Maroon 5 has a non clean version, which when I heard it, changed to the clean version. Then I got to get everyone to come up and get their bbq food, by telling people where to go. Afterwards Harry did some interviewing of some the crowds there. We then got to the awards and that part very well, I even got in a photo I was happy to be in, unfortunately you arent getting it on here, join our website and if you are allowed you can view them there. When we got to the raffle Rab Donald was shouting up the winners of raffle prizes, but he was a bit quiet, not a problem I have so I took the other mic and did some more work on the mic, that was fun while getting rab to get people drawing tickets. Sunday wasn't a bad day. On the concert front I have all my tickets for Steps (this morning), Wet Wet Wet and Football at Hampden in July.

This afternoon I am having lunch with Frank in between Coalhall and Colyton. Check the map on this. I had better say I am glad that Mr John Laurinitis was sacked.
