 We often open with "Long way to the top" but intro with "Scotland the Free"  ;)

That Bon Scott ACDC set would take a serious vocalist! Nice to see some Hoodoo Gurus on your setlist too Mark!

Our singer was getting quite good doing the Scott stuff, so we e-mailed him a setlist before a rehearsal - beginning with 'who made who' and ' what do you do for money, honey'. He did not realise it was a joke, so the next rehearsal he wanted to start with them...

Of course, he's voise was shot for the rest of the day, baut cred to him for giving them a go! Some of them Brian Johnson songs
are incredibly painful to sing for the average voice :)

+1 on (Oz) Mark's set list...

The Guru's played London a few times... I remember seeing them at some hole in the ground in a place called Harlesden (The Mean Fiddler) circa Blow You Cool... (pretty certain it was there that I saw the Long Ryders too)

That reminds me... this lot I saw at the Marquee prior to the singer going his own way... no room for some Cold Chisel in that set, Mark...?

Seattle Mark... reference your set opener... bagpipes too...? :mrgreen:

For the Brian Johnson era AC/DC this guy could come in handy

This is our 5 piece non-keyboard lineup, so no.

At my wedding one of my pals played bagpipes in full pipe band uniform as the bride arrived in the wedding car - my Scottish father-in-law was chuffed ... even when the piper (by arrangement at my request) snuck in a few bars of Long Way To The Top while the bride was walking into the venue :-)

You know, these bagpipers don't wear any underwear. How would that fit your dresscode?

Perhaps that gent is auditioning for the Scottish version of Duck Dynasty.

Do they do tartan camo?

Reminds me of one of the best lines ever spoken on WKRP in Cincinnatti:

Herb Tarlick walks into the sales office wearing a wild plaid sportscoat...

Venus Flytrap immediately says "My God, somewhere there is a Volkswagen with no seat covers."
