GalGael at the Govan Fair

We did it again, GalGael won first prize second year running at the Govan Fair with our "Rock around the Croft" float after last years success with"Pirates of the Hebridean". We rocked our way round Govan to an Elvis backing track with live vocals from Mr Elvis Prestwick. The Galgael crew were kitted out in a fashion -fusion combining kilts and quiffs while accompanying Mr Prestwick on guitars, double bass and just about anything you can hit with a stick. A special mention for Ian Bogle and his blistering rock solos on the shovel. We even had some Galgael women manufacturing hand knitted quiffs (in pastel pink and blue)at the back of the truck. Special thanks to driver Dennis Ashcroft and Speedy Transport for providing the getaway truck, to all the GalGalians who helped set up and perform and to the people of Govan for the great response.
Remember- GalGael will be at this year's Glasgow River Festival on 19th 20th July next to the Science Centre.
