Subject: RE: glasgow or scottish pub songs
hiya boab.... this is a great place huh?
I havent been in to the Irvine place yet... but I was aware of EAP being taught in Irvine... John said that the massive Irvine acadamy dome on the roof inspired the place he writes about in THE PIT AND THE PENDULUM.. I have been gob-smacked at the Irvine that has been revealed to me through my rummaging.... Did you hear the story of LIBERACE turning up at the Kings pub in the high st at 3am? on the invite of the landlord sometime in the late fifties?
It blows my mind that this wee toon was a bigger port than glasgow in its heyday.
