Nice wee article there - good read.

Good luck for when you get in touch with Foo Fighters about that half hour slot in Skins theboss ;)

That's no' a bad bit of reporting Pepsi. Well done.

Just a wee bit of constructive critisism however, you got Darren's surname wrong at one stage. If you need a proof-reader give me a shout. :D

[The Pepsi Challenge]

Not my fault, am afraid.

In the interview piece, I listed both Darren and Ryan's names as DM and RC; it was the decision of whomever subbed the piece to list their full names behind their answers. Therefore it's their mistake; not mine.

If it upsets you that much, feel free to send Hi-Arts an email describing your complaint. Perhaps they'll give you a job.

A few more known bands that have appeared in Caithness back in the 60's and 70's in the Assembly Rooms are The Troggs,Love Affair,Easybeats,The Casuals [At number one in the charts with Can't let maggie go]when they appeared,and the Mindbenders with Eric Stewart who later was part off 10cc.

Memories from the 60's can be vague.The Casuals hit was actually Jesamine released in 1968.Lene Lovich and Mickey Jupp also played in Wick in 1978 [i think] as part of the Stiff Records train tour.There are more i'm sure.
