On The Shortlist

by Russell Turner - 22:24 on 20 December 2017

City Limits received an early Christmas present today – the news that we’re on the shortlist for Wedding Entertainment of the Year in the Scottish Wedding Awards 2018.

The winner will be announced at a swish do in Glasgow in February but, as the organisers will give us only one free ticket, which band member will attend is yet to be decided. We could shell out £90 a time for more tickets. I suspect we won’t.

There’ll be no celebration this weekend, unfortunately, as we don’t have a gig. Our next is at the Cairn Hotel in Carrbridge on Hogmanay, then Johnny Foxes the following night. That should get the new year off to a rousing start.

I’m still waiting to hear if Chatterbox will attend its third successive Press Ball. It’s not looking good – nominees for awards usually hear before Christmas. With just two working days left time’s running out fast.
