Wick High, Friday 5th October Estrella Ucan tour.


We were off up to Wick last week for our most northerly date so far of the ongoing Ucan charity tour. We travelled up on Thursday evening from Aberdeen so we were “fresh faced” for Fridays gig at Wick High.

Set up went without a hitch, not can be said for all gigs so this is definitely a bonus! We went on to play two sets, the first was to the third year pupils during class time, and the second was to the forth, fifth and sixth year pupils during lunch time. Mixing seventies covers by the likes of the Rolling Stones and Lynard Skynard with some original tracks it didn’t take long for the pupils to get in to us. However it was not only the pupils getting in to us….. I’m certain I seen a few staff member having a wee dance at the back of the Hall, which was great to see! After the gig we sold twenty CDs to some keen pupils, which was very encouraging, we hope those of you who bought CDs know all the words by the time we return!!

Kate from the Ucan Charity was a little to busy to navigate the northern roads so decide to fly up from Aberdeen on Friday. Taking a short break gave Kate a chance to talk to the pupils, Using props and an informal and amusing manner Kate delivered a fun yet informative and important messages of the dangers of urological cancer.

We would like to thank everyone for attending, and those who collected money for the Ucan charity, all a great help! The Lighting guys did great job, helping to create a good atmosphere so cheers to you guys! Finally we would like to give a shout out to “Team Cream ” and a big thank you to the lassy who gave us sweeties at the end of the gig, great stuff.
