Teabags Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 I played a gig once in the broch. The fire exit doors in the gig room were left wide open for people to go out and smoke before we played. But they needed to stay closed duringf the gig cos of the noise so they... chained closed the fire exit doors. Fuck me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Broch started going downhill when Jim's Plaice became Zanre's. The Swanny, Fish n Things, ETs (even with the manky red sauce), The Grill, all excellent chippers. Fish n Things was our regular hangout age 13/14 because they had one of those arcade machines with 6 games on it, (including Final Fight and Wrestlemania), a 5p bandit, and hot dogs for £1.

ca_gere Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Zanres in Mintlaw was the best Zanres. Can’t believe we used to get a full fish supper for lunch. Was either that or chips and cheese from chalmers bakery. I wonder if kids are still as unhealthy as in my day? The amount of utter shite I’d shovel into my face at school. Mars and coke vending machine in the cafeteria - or Ribena if you fancied some fruit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like The Elizabethan (aka The Lizzy to the initiated), although I've never heard of bands playing there. Was it next door to a Chinese and the Fire Station?

Trikelops Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) The Broch is nae that bad. Once played a gig in the Dalrymple Hall back in the 60s. There were Danish fishermen weathered in and the trouble between them and the locals started before the band did! Half time and me and the lead guitarist found a Danish guy bleeding like a stuck pig lying in the urinal. Called for someone to help him, so two bouncers picked him up and threw him out the emergency exit! Our rhythm guitarist earned us a ban because during the break, he was 'entertaining' a young lady in the dressing toom toilet. Trouble was, her bare arse was clearly outlined in the frosted glass window for all outside to see. As we left, our lead guitarist noticed his amp was missing. we drove around and eventually came across two chancers carrying it along the road. Pointed out the error of their ways to them and went on our merry way. Years later, I opened a wee motorbike sales/repair shop in Albert Street, but had to bail out after a couple of years. Made some good pals there though. Edited March 24, 2020 by Trikelops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
