Timbo Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 After being away for a few days, on my return I trawl the BBC for news of import and what do I discover? That Pesky Mod has been influencing England's wild beaver colony...then I find my glasses and discover that I had misread the headline, indeed England's Wild Beaver Colony has Kits... and not Kilts 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadScot Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Hi Mark, People have paid good money to hear me sing lol That was me performing at a World AOL Meet in 2002. I say World coz there were peeps from the USA came over for the bash. For the record, the song was My Ain Folk. Always brings a to the eye lol In my youth, I sang the serious stuff with my father. Now, i'd require Broadsbeat to find the notes, so I could sing them! Iain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baitrunner Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Dave, i think Fred was known for lots of things - dancing, singing, acting. Obviously not in our Iain's league though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gracie Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Yes, I totally agree with Iain in regards to the 'let's get the Pesky Mod day' if our lovely Mod thinks in his own head that he can sing and dance, who are we to judge, now, I suggest you stop teasing and leave Iain alone to sing his rendition of 'I wanna dance with somebody' put on his kilt and dance till his hearts content. There you go Iain, bet you knew I'd stick up for yer Grace 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranworthbreeze Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I thought Fred Astaire was a Dancer, what are you saying abouts Iains singing abilities? Dave Hi Dave, At the start of Fred Astaire's career it was stated:- can't sing, can't act, can dance a little. Ginger Rodgers did everything Fred did but backwards in high heels (just to keep Grace happy and interested in the topic).

Timbo Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Hang on a minute...as a former pub organist/banjo player/guitarist/squeeze box player...well familiar with playing tunes such as 'My Ain Folk' and other classics in the 'scuddahewoo' or 'pub singer' style are we not missing a great opportunity to form the NBN 'old Boy Band? If we didn't have a packed house there would be an abundance of free mooring space near gigs! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadScot Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Ah Tim, I can see it now....The "Auld Codgers" singing....
