However, I thought it was brilliant.
Opinions and all that but I cannot understand for the life of me how anyone could call this 'garbage'.
Well done Charlie and Craig for a cracking home town song.

Some good sing songs at Ron's hoose,sharing some grand Malts !!
My memory of Dick was him on the balustrade of the City Chambers,celebrating Labour's first ever majority on the council in 1984.
Dick gave a grand rendition of "The Internationale" from the rooftop.
The "establishment" was none to pleased !!
Changed days ..but
Happy Days !!Last edited by Mick O'Rourke; 15-08-2018 at 02:12 PM.

I'd have loved to have seen Gaughan at the City Chambers. He was making a comeback around that time after suffering health problems.
I also knew Ron Brown and campaigned for him as an independent in 1992, after he'd be expelled by Kinnock's Labour Party.
We used an empty shop down the Walk on the left as a campaign base.

I think that the song will be a grower.

Going to see them in Southend in October and I could be tearing up when they play that one. SOL will no doubt tip me over the edge though!!!

I helped with the campaign with Ron Taylor (Ron's agent) and May Brown from the shop.
I got suspended for that,then left the party;-)
I got the cold shoulder at the count that year at Meadowbank from the likes of Milligan and Brian Fallon.
More faces than the Tron clock !
On the topic
Any chance the not so noisy neighbours will adopt the new Proclaimers song as their own?
They are mimicking a lot of things Hibernian at the moment.
Like trying to get a singing section properly established.
Although early signs appear that their song book (and flags) is very rAngers like.
They told us that they killed us as a club, after that final,just before they went bust !
The Phoenix has risen... and they don't like it one bit !Last edited by Mick O'Rourke; 15-08-2018 at 02:53 PM.

Those were bad times for the Labour Party and the unions and I'm glad things are swinging the other way now. 'More faces than the Tron clock' - I love it!
I can't imagine our neighbours adopting anything by the Proclaimers, although everyone in Edinburgh has a right to be proud of them.

Have been going to the boys gigs for 30 odd years. Grew up with the Clash but Letter from America blew my mind. The new song is brilliant too.

Hope DJ plays it on Sunday and leaves it to the fans to decide if they like it or not
No views of Gorgie either that I saw
So that will annoy them and 400k potential buyers too

It’s a grower for sure. Love their passion for Edinburgh, Scotland and of course The Hibees

It will never hold a candle to Sunshine on Leith but it's got some emotional clout, the chorus in particular.

First time I've seen the video- but the song and album are good, personally I think some of their best stuff is on the lesser known albums, they've really made some good music - consistently. The vid is great, only adds to a good tune
