I had totally forgotten just how fucking good Runrig were live.
* They can play that one at my funeral.
** Probably not the best live version of this song but worth it for the intro.
*** If they don't play that at my funeral I'm coming back to haunt people.
**** If this doesn't cheer people up nothing will.
Edit: Bollocks - a straight paste didn't work, will try and sort the links by the weekend, some cracking stuff there.
