Charlie Allan piper for SP

Winter at home continued

Well as a result of over exuberance from Charlie he managed while jiggin to break some bones in his foot!!! He smashed it up badly, a week before he was due to go filming with 30 of his combat team, Combat International, on the new adaption of Snowhite and the Huntsman being filmed at Pinewood studios.

Charlie being no stranger on movie sets, Charlie made good use of the time networking and chasing new work for the Clan.
So there will be plenty of money in the coffers to continue with work at Duncarron. No money ? No materials, No work.

Thanks to Charlie and the Clan and their expertise and professional attitude towards filming and the Clans reputation for being the best, there will be more.

Winter at home

Well, lots of tin been happening back here in Scotland. Marcus got married to Paula and the ceremony was executed by Mark being the minister of the hand fasting and Charlie being the best man. Bristling with weaponry for the job in hand. For those that dont know this, the term "best man", came from the term , best man for the job, the groom would hire a friend or known hard man who would shoot or cut down anyone who tried to disrupt the wedding, hence the term best man for the job.

MPS Bahrenfeld Hamburg

MPS Hamburg. Well, we did it again didn't we? We brought the Scottish weather with us. We've got to stop doing that!! The weather aside we've got to say, the crowd we had were absolutely amazing. Braving the with winds and driving rain to party along with us. We raise our glasses and tip our caps to you guys, brilliant! So, it's the U.S of A for us this weekend. Playing in front of what we're told, at least 20,000 people. Can't wait. Now we seem to have our sound fixed at MPS we really are going to start recording our shows for out live CD and we want to hear the crowd on it so, you know what you have to do... Noise, noise and more noise from you guys please!! Schelmish were at our hotel, what a laugh. At least I think it was and a thank you to Dextro and Picus for playing Solveig with us, a great version of it. We'll see you in two weeks at the next MPS. Take care. Steve.

Trees falling out of the sky. It still didn't stop you going mad, dancing and enjoying the thump of our thunder so thank you so much. Highlight on Sunday must have been invading schelmish's stage …

Saor Patrol and the Duncarron Project.

Dear Supporters, I would be extremely grateful if you would consider helping the Duncarron project by doing the following : Write, E-mail, and twitter the First Minister of Scotland, Alex Salmond, showing your support for the Duncarron project. Could we consider asking questions such as why is the project being charged a high rent from the Forestry Commission and receives no help in this respect. We must remember the huge amount of work the project does with those Long -term unemployed and others on …

Wassenberg

""Thanks to everyone who made it to our show in Wassenberg. We had a great time. Against doctors orders Charlie would not pull this gig. Marcus too as he had a terrible lung infection (lovingly given to him by Charlie!) No, instead of pulling the show, which isn't the Saor Patrol way, Charlie went off and shelled out for electric pipes (which is going to be very cool for writing new music-watch this space...)! So, two guys with serious lung infections, two drummers with busted arms and me with a bit of a sore thumb;-) and we still rocked. We're all better(ish) now and are going to hit Weil at 1000mph. Hope you're ready..? After the show we met are top friends Schelmish for a meal, trampolines, swings, slides and wine. A great end to a great weekend. See you in Weil.""

Gelsenkirchin

MPS Gelsenkirchen Andre and myself picked Charlie, Marcus and Kev up from Weiss airport and set off to our hotel in Gelsenkirchin. After settling in we had a meal and hit the hay in true rock and roll style!! The MPS gig was pretty hard going ( 4 shows every day for the three days!). The shows weren`t the problem, it was the blazing sun. It must have been at least forty degrees and the sun was beating off the stage. Charlie described his brain as a boiling pan of pasta! That about sums it up!! The …

The Road trip to Chamonix Well, first of all i`d like to give a huge tip of the cap to Joe Owens. A brilliant guitar player who sadly had to leave the band.
