David Insurrection Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 I think the video was filmed on a high quality camera by some Taiwanese artists which were doing exhibitions at Glenfiddich distillery and came along to the gig on the island for the experience. Really nice people and the video is an added bonus.Cool. Caught the Filthpact performance online too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 These particular folks, though they did release a full length through WOW, were not at all well known and quickly disappeared from view. From Scotland I think making use of traditional folk sounds and intruments. Have scoured the web for info, but to no avail.*racks brains*Was it AOA? I can't rest until the mystery is solved.

Frosty Jack Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Has just occurred to me that the last time Oi Polloi appeared at The East Neuk was at a show I'd co-arranged March '92. Not their best performance as I'm sure Deek would be the first to admit. Then members Ewan and Daz hailed from these parts. Some here may recall Daz from his time with local death metal folks Obelisk.Daz the drummer, aye? Top lad, still see him quite a lot. He now works for John Henry's in London, supplying backline to the stars. He keeps phoning me up to tell me he's 'playing on Bonham's old kit' and all sorts. Bastard. Last story he told me was he was backstage somewhere feeling like shite when some grizzled old roadie came up and asked if he was OK. When he said no, the roadie popped a pill in his mouth and said 'There ye go, you'll be fine now'. He quickly realised he'd just been 'medicated' by Hawkwind's roadie. He was 'fine' for the next three days...Never realized East Neuk had been hosting gigs for that long.I played my first ever gig in The Neuk. In fact we used to practise in there too, as our singer's Dad owned it. Not sure what year that would be, but it was before the 90s... And guess what it looked like then? exactly. the. fucking. same. - seriously, the furniture, the decorations, the huge owl, even down to the bar staff... Got to love the place.

David Insurrection Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 *racks brains*Was it AOA? I can't rest until the mystery is solved.Oh no. But yeah, this is just so frustrating. Perhaps Bonesaw Bazz could help? He was then involved with Aberdeen's metal community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if he'd remember me - we haven't spoken since 1992, but do tell him David said hi. I played my first ever gig in The Neuk. In fact we used to practise in there too, as our singer's Dad owned it. Not sure what year that would be, but it was before the 90s...

David Insurrection Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 FINALLY. The folks I was so desperately trying to remember, and who'd played out with Obelisk, were called Four Sons Of King Henry V. Their full length (released through WOW) was called Fuedal Grind.

David Insurrection Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 The Oi Polloi show has a definitely interesting and quite varied line-up. Regarding Johnny Skyscraper, has gotta be the first time drummer Chiz has played out alongside Oi Polloi in some years. Cool. Perhaps fellow Toxik members Fred, Mikey, and Dod will make it along too.

David Insurrection Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Did anyone else catch support act La Luain on television early yesterday evening? Were featured on BBC Alba's Rapal with frontman Tim talking about not only the band, but about this very tour with Oi Polloi. Some folks may know Tim from his work with Mill a h-Uile Rud.

MitchPact Posted March 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Johnny Skyscraper have had to pull out due to work committments, As the lineups allready pretty full it'll be left at 5 bands and as such will give oi polloi more time to play a longer set!
