The retirees came to watch basketball — not cut a rug. The games made them feel at home. The transplants moved to Florida like so many others for the golf courses sunsets and beach walks. But they missed being involved with the sports they’d watched their kids play… Comments are the sole responsibility of the person posting them. Break our rules and we will ban you.

Sons & Daughters from Glasgow are ready. We know a little of what to expect here and climb onto the stage via a frankly dangerous rickety chair-step. What if one of our precious musicians were to fall and break a finger or worse a nail? Tour cancelled?The rock show is a hard bitten success the stage sound is dreadful no-one knows if it’s in time but somehow we pull through. Mainly thanks to the packed crowd who are clapping furiously while managing to avoid crumpling their amazing clothes… Towards the end of the set we play DANCE ME IN and the crowd are so loving it we sense an encore scenario. except we don’t do that any more so after announcing two more tunes we make our way back down to the gas chamber for a quick illegal fag followed by a jaunt to the t-shirt desk to meet some people who want to buy CDs and stuff. You guys are nice! Thanks Manchester.
