sorry to say we invited Denny and his band to our pub and they went down like a lead balloon, good to hear something that is actually like the scheme we grew up listening to, keep up the good work lads, TAL!
not a lot to say but i moved to england (devon)in 1979 aged 13.. had this groups cassette to help me get through the move. listened to it over and over. just want to thanks Scheme, it was a little piece of home when i was in in a foreign land.
@MrSchemeteam shut up you,if it wasnt for rab there would have been no scheme,the guy had and still has one of the best voices in scotland.just take a look at the comments below!!!rab made scheme!
HI guys the gig ment so much to so meany people.i hope theres a lot more to come.not just for the ones how made it to the gig.but for the 1000s how didnt make it and the few that didnt get in.yous have stood the test of time..rock.on m8 hope to see yous soon...C.N.D

alright Rab, i will be the with the rest of the e/hoose troops, the night, can you give a shout out for wee Pete Gordon(R.I.P) when your playing time!! cheers bud
Scusie You have a great live sound, Rab your voice is still really really good!

I agree with the text on yer vid that Rab has one of the best voices to come out of Scotland and yer cover of Human was ace Rab!, Floyd magic. Cheers from An old fan from the times in The Brothers, The Pavillion & Rooftops, george square, maxwell plums...., merried noo wi wanes in gartcosh.
The new sound is great it really suits rabs voice.The folk guitars are fitting as if the songs were penned with that in mind. The barras gig is gonna be a night 2 remember........BRING IT ON
