S...Are you sure that's not Eric Morecambe? :-)<br /><br />Seriously, fantastic pics. Nice to see the old Overgate shops/Angus Hotel in shot, the red phoneboxes, and not forgetting the demi-wave perms - and that's just on the blokes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-85384799709659829232011-04-25T13:05:21.238-07:002011-04-25T13:05:21.238-07:00i think the band is The Tayport Instrumentali think the band is The Tayport InstrumentalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-47969166217402097382011-04-24T10:03:26.738-07:002011-04-24T10:03:26.738-07:00Don MacGregor was my teacher at school.

I'm still in touch with him to this day.Rickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10392937890457931850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-89605006657172898962011-04-22T07:56:23.938-07:002011-04-22T07:56:23.938-07:00I can remember the City Square band playing someth...I can remember the City Square band playing something quite sophisticated during their set. Can't recall exactly what it was now, but it was something like "2001 A Space Odyssey" or "Fanfare For The Common Man". I was rather impressed!<br />They definitely did play the well known Vangelis tune "Chariots Of Fire".<br />Also, if you zoom into the chimney pots area in the middle photo, you can still make out the original "Russell's Royal Hotel" sign that goes way back to ancient times.RETRO DUNDEEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07746839418666784001noreply@blogger.com
