Pollyana

Sorry, can't help...but believe it or not my ex and I had a cat by that name; big black and white animal, real character. He liked a good beer, a rowdy party, and a bit of heavy rock music!

gormac

Thats all fine and well but does he come from Glasgow and play guitar

Pollyana

Not Glasgow, from Brighton, but he did play a mean roll on the drums

Bring your stuff ... you could get lots of work if you're good, esp through RSL clubs. The Scottish thing could work well for you.

gormac

Hi iPom Don,t you think there would be no problems shipping over and getting it through customs? what do you mean the Scottish thing? Idon,t do Andy Stewart (though if the money was right I,d do bloody Moira stewart) Cheers from a soaking Glasgow

iPom

No problems shipping your stuff over imo. It's your work equipment. I would make sure you insure it well though.
Because you're Scottish, there are a lot of Scots here who've been here for years, 10 pound poms etc. They like to dream of the 'auld country' and Scottish singers are very popular in RSL clubs and doing the rounds in various venues. I would say if you're good, you'll get some decent work. - doesn't have to be Andy Stewart, just your own stuff. Depends where you're planning to settle though.

I'd be keen to see you do Moira Stewart though. Have you got nice legs?
