Guest AudraT Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Just wanted to thank the guys who run the Dundee night. We travelled to Scotland on Thursday evening with a brief stop in Aberdeen and then headed to Dundee on Friday. The venue and the music were excellent, and I must say that it's the best night that I've been to in ages. Must be the superb Scottish hospitality. Hope to see you all up there again soon. Audra (P.S. Thanks to all who talked to me about Billy MacKenzie - I didn't get to his grave in the end, but I think I know where it is now - so maybe next time!) Link to comment
