I'm sure that's a matter for conjecture...

High Society that was them, did they meet him in the Mey pub

**Gleber2** · 18-Dec-08, 14:30

He came into the Mey hall where the band were playing Led Zep stuff rather well but Mr. Page refused to join them on stage as " He had a cold".
I shall treat Metalattakk's post with the contempt it deserves.

There is also a cracking Museum in the Thurso Town Hall now which failed to get a mention.

So what did Gleber and Jimmy Page talk about?

Well, firstly I told him that I didn't like Led Zep's music which upset him a little and then we argued about the Yardbirds gig in Wick in 1964. Page said that he was there and I said that he wasn't. It was not until much later that I discovered that he had been a roadie for the Yardbirds and was in fact there. Of course we also talked about Boleskine House and Crowley. The rest of our conversation I cannot remember.
Gleber here, I did not realise that Chjnr was logged on. Apologies!!!

Yeah OK Pepsi.
Did Jimmy Page mention he was a fan of your music Gleber?
Boleskine House seems a dark haunted place, if you beleive in all that witchcraft, voodoo magic malarky.

Great article...but the Silver Beetles never ever played in Caithness, also cant remember the Quo ever playing in Caithness either...maybe wrong here though

**hotrod4** · 19-Dec-08, 15:48

I dont recall hearing about quo playing. Do recall Stiff Little Fingers and Lena Lovich or am I also wrong?

Also believed Jinxd played in the blackstairs a few years ago!!!

Lena Lovich played the assembly rooms as part of the Stiff Tour 1978. SLF never played in Caithness.

High Society were mentioned earlier. Does anyone remember what happened to Ruby Bain? (Their rather brilliant guitarist for those under about 45......)

Glad to hear it. Just a little shocked that Trusty is doing classical pieces! I remember him well along with Spike Tait doing punk numbers.......

Nice one Gleber2. wish you all the best with that sort of venue.... all I can remember from the lighthouse was cycling up to visit in the early 60,s to visit the travelin relief Lighthousekeeper in his 40´s Singledeckerbus with a Map of Scotland on the Back and listen to his Yarns. Just Great...

Yep, in British Standard c 1978 /79, and damn good they were...however that was 30 years ago, Mr Trusty. like all of us, has come a long way and covered a lot of time in the last 30 years. Classical music...depends on how you see it ? Having heard some of their work I would say its excellent

Does anyone know if the johnny fatts and his expanding head band, still doing the circuit

Oh my Goodness Bobbyian, you just have to make a return trip. The venue is exceptional and the music surpasses it, always. Gleber2 is not one short of a yarn or three either.
