[Caran]

Thank you Sandy that was great.

[SirOracle]

I am so glad that you enjoyed the DVD Caran.My favourite is "The Sunshine On Leith" for very personal reasons.

The Proclaimers are local lads who I see regularly as I walk about Colinton.

Also the " Sunshine " number has been adopted by my football team (Hibernian), and is played and sung by all the supporters before every home game.

[Caran]

Must sound brilliant SirOracle before each game. Loved the Proclaimers for such a long time.

[SirOracle]

Yes Caran the pre- match music is great. Pity the performance of the team this season has been abysmal.

[Caran]

In the 500 miles refrain I can't help singing "Bobby Davro"as it was done on a charity programme.

[janbee]

Yes I've seen it. I thought it was excellent. I'm from Edinburgh so it meant a lot to me.

Leith is my eldest bruvs name. I havent seen or heard from him since his divorce 20+y ago. The song is poignant in other ways for me.
