Heard Joyful Kilmarnock Blues for the first time and thought - who are these gadgies singing about Hibs?

Very enjoyable. Its funny how bands you like can be influenced and helped by ones you cant stand .... Dexys Midnight Runners and the Housemartins for example .... Glad to see Alex Harvey referenced as well, now there was a band.
The very thing that makes the Proclaimers great and to an extent unique is that even when they do a love song it still has a hard edge to it, kind of like 'Aye ah kin be soppy, but ah kin still kick yer heid in' if ye take the piss' ...... That's why I hated the 'Sunshine on Leith' film, that in yer face edge was binned in favour of a load of soppy sounding mush.
Whatever their legacy there cant be many bands who have A) written a football anthem .... and B) written one specifically identified with the club they support ..... what more could you want

He may be a St Mirren fan, but I loved Chris Brookmyre slapping down the American music journo’s over the usage of the word “haver".....absolutely priceless.

Good documentary, I differ politically from the twins but I love the lyrics in their songs. Amazing to think "500 miles" is still a big earner for them that allows them to tour and release new material

Really good doco, good selection of talking heads for once that were pretty relevant to what was going on, sad (but also very very glad) to see Edwyn Collins and Justin Currie is looking old!

Watched it last night. Really well done documentary and a great insight into their early years, which I didn't know a lot about.
Good to see Edwyn Collins looking relatively well all things considered.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

Anyway... back on track... the Proclaimers documentary was great. They come across as really decent, principled and talented lads. The Hibs bit had me with a lump in my throat for sure.

Spotted Charlie and his wife on Prince's St. today whilst in town with my daughter.
Congratulated him on a great documentary. He was very pleasant back.

SOL is a cracking anthem. Better than YNWA thats sung by different clubs, SOL is ours and ours alone.
Whens its in full swing like the cup final it truly is magnificent.
