Hi Julie
Go to the Oban Bar and ask for George Crawford he is (or was) a postman there and involved in the session scene.

I was in Oban in 1978, part a trip to Britain after internship. It's on the west coast of Scotland, and I got there by train from Edinburgh. Further affiant knoweth naught. Isn't there a "re-created" Stonehenge replica there? Or am I hallucinating again?

Aloha,
Mark

I am back. Didn't manage to do anything in Oban - too much fresh air and sunshine ! went straight to sleep in the evenings but had a really good time at the White Hart (Mon) and the Antiquary (Thurs) in Edinburgh. Thanks to all for making me welcome.

Mark.

It's not a replica Stonehenge but a the result of a 19th century job creation scheme. Known as McCaig's Tower, it was built by the unemployed but never finished and never actually used for anything.

Last time I was in Oban about two years ago, the only music I found was in McTavish's restaurant, OK but a bit cheesy and touristy. The food wasn't up to much either. Cross over to Mull and it's much better.

The Boat Band sunk the dinghy in Oban harbour with several local drunks on board, on the way back to Harbiger for a pissup. but that, as they say, is another story.
