Beggars Opera might have been on show as well.......must drink less

Beggers Opera were at the Ice Rink I think, thats when my shoes were black when I went in and they were white when I came out, strange thing turning ice into concrete. :!: :roll:

My Dad was in the pub last night , with TMFTJ who probably won't remember this, and they were told that a local band named Hot Cottage opened the festival.

By the way it was the first ever festival of it's kind in Scotland. The second was at Grangemouth, Did anyone else make the trip there ?

[tm4tj]

Yes I did remember, in fact I have more information - Lal one of the members of Hot Cottage actually sold me a wee birdie, he now breeds cockatiels and parrots. And, he now plays in a band called the healers and I saw them last night in the Room, still rocking strong.

So there :)

[tm4tj]

Gosh who would have thought that corkatiels was a swear word.

[f*ballers wife]

oh my!!!

must have something to do with their peckers?

[ed waiter]

Ye and the one and only Carl Palmer, he of drummer in Emerson Lake and Palmer , was beating the skins for Atomic Rooster

[metalgecko]

The Hebridean. Class. Tiniest bar downstairs which still had a pool table. Now the Shapla

The Crit. Always packed. Remember seeing the most drunk rubber man in there once. Staggered into the middle of the crowd which quickly cleared after he apparently farted. It was then obvious he had followed through. This guy then went to spark up a fag until someone shouted " Don't do that you'll explode" Cue this guy try to light his fag, in mouth, from arms length!

Don't know if any of these still exist (as I have been away from the town a long while) but:

The Black Bull

The Harbour Inn

Innes Street Bar

Royal Ordinance (on young street - I remember it becoming Inventions or Rumours or something late 70's ?)

The Courtyard

The Copper Kettle

Also, but the name escapes me, the wee boozer at the bottom of Grant Street on the corner next what was then Joe Corals, the bookies.

[Guest jlmacd]

The Locheil ! (?)

[CFS]

Refections - Video juke boxes very 80's

Relax - Lots of Mirrors

Columba - Bob Dylan on Juke box

Tryst - Crap but went every week!

Usually in that order on a Saturday night

[Kind of Blue]

CFS,  To be precise, the Bob Dylan track played in the Columba (at least 6 times every Friday and Saturday night) was "Like a rolling stone".  I also frequented all of the pubs you mentioned most weekends in the 80's.

Black Bull - became the 'Waterfront'

Harbour Inn - ???

Innes Street Bar - I presume you mean the Innes Bar ? - Home of many ICT fans on matchdays

Royal Ordinance - became 'Reflections'

The Courtyard - ???

The Copper Kettle - ???

In Grant St the bars could have been the Argyll (nearest the Black Bridge) or the Lochiel (nearest the Clach Park). The Argyll was turned into housing years ago but the Lochiel was still around when I left Inverness, although it had been renamed the Bridge or something like that.

[tm4tj]

The Courtyard was it the lounge bar upstairs in the Tarry Ile

The Copper Kettle bar is in Loch Ness House Hotel.
