Nonsense. Saw the Stranglers last year and they're still 20. The Procs will go on and on.

Thanks for the input on that one Lucy. Nearly all the proclaimers concerts are sold out to date. Thankfully your not a fan. Can’t wait for Melrose. Should be a great day/night.

Not sure if you’re pished or what but what a nonsensical post. They are still a fantastic live act.

While i think the Proclaimers are terrible, the Rolling Stones are still brilliant live. I think some Hibs fans force themselves to like the Proclaimers. Different story if they were Jambos.

Got to agree, also without the connection to Hibs in their lyrics would many bother.

To those cheering them on enjoy your Hibs themed day.

I think that's doing them a disservice. Over the years there have been plenty of local bands with Hibs connections and Hibs related songs but they haven't had the same success as the Proclaimers.

As for their music, I'm a fan but I understand why they won't be everyone's cup of tea.

That tells me you don't know their body of work....the Hibs " theme" of their Edinburgh gigs are a small part, and by far my least favourite reason for going....history will recognise their writing and harmonies as classics...they are amongst the best of their generation...they work hard and the musicality of their gigs is tight and incredibly professional....worthy of respect as top scottish musicians.

OR, they’re just not to your taste. My 14 year old thinks they’re great and he wouldn’t be swayed just by their Hibs leanings. I also know a few jambos that are huge fans and go to see them regularly.

This is either

A) trolling - which if it is - not a bad job tbh...fair play..

Or more likely
B) someone who has never seen the Proclaimers live, or really listened to their body of work...and therefore, I feel sorry for you, to have missed the poetry and brilliance of their lyrics and harmony...nae luck wee man.......

Agreed.

Their style of music leaves me cold and I'm not going to make an exception just because they're Hibs fans and one of them sat three seats away from me in the old North.

The Proclaimers have actually been replaced by excellent lookalikes several times

Like the sugababes, we now must be on the 6/7th reincarnation by now

I should know, I was the one on the left for the Life With You album and tour

So don’t worry Lucy Brown, you have many more years of Proclaimers enjoyment to come

Have seen them around 8-9 times over the last 25 years, and last years gig at the playhouse was the best I’ve seen them. They are getting better, not worse.

You're so right. There's no way at the age they are now that they could still put on the high intensity shows like the late eighties with all that spandex, flashpots going off after every song and running around like banshees playing guitar solos.
