Should be of interest on here. I submitted a question and it got used! I don't think you need to be Einstein to work out which one, and the answer is just great.

Apart from what is said in the article, just what is Joyful Kilmarnock Blues actually about?

Always thought it was about getting joy from a dismal event/place - e.g. a crap result at rugby park, head down etc. but getting the head up and taking in the Scottish skyline with a smile :greengrin

Thanks. I suppose that makes sense. Can you help me with the eyes obscure my vision line? :greengrin

I thought they were going to mention meeting me after their gig in Salisbury.

That article is as much about the comments below...

I'm more of a 2007 rendition fan than 2016, but when you read on that Guardian page, YouTube, wherever, what it meant to non-Hibbies and how surprisingly emotional it made them, really hits home how we have something totally unique.
