From Rags to Riches

Had a great night out at the SECC in Glasgow. A rare treat and first live band in ages. Snow Patrol were on fine form and pulled out all the stops with an excellent performance. Also found time for a Thai curry (not too many of these in Glencoe unless you cook 'em yourself) and would recommend Thai Siam if you find yourself in need and you're near Argyle Street.

But what's that I hear you say. Whoop-de-do, but isn't this a Glencoe-based blog?

Well, I was just about to add that whilst jumping around Hall 4 of the SECC with another few thousand sweaty folk, I couldn't help but notice that the guy playing bass with Snow Patrol and looking like he was having the time of his life did look kind of familiar. Paul Wilson (look he even has his own Wiki page!) is in fact a local lad from Kinlochleven. And last I saw Paul, he was keeping the mountain bikes in our hire fleet in fine fettle, as a part time job after school. Yes, from Clachaig to Snow Patrol! A real (oily bike) rags to riches tale! Good on you, Paul!

P.S. Any chance you wanna do a gig in the Boots Bar? Its worth 20 quid and a couple of beers!
