@EdwynCollins oi oi, both you and @suzyv Glasgow shows were tops and a total tonic, and this post struck me that you two are of ages and could’ve been in the same class at school, if not for geography. You should totes record together

@robmanuel cracking night, thank you, I like to think it would wind up Pastor Jack Glass in his angry grave. Hope you get a rest to recover soon

So, aged 96, crooner Tony Bennett has died.

I'll never forget the night he serenaded 5,000 of us, in George Square, as part of the 2003 Jazz Festival.

He charmed us, told us stories of previous visits, he made us laugh, and dance, but, more importantly, he let us singalong...

The Glasgow Garden Festival Coca-Cola Roller as you'd see it today: renamed 'Wipeout' at Pleasurewood Hills, Suffolk and instantly recognisable, despite the blue paint job.
