Hey! Ho! lets go!

We headed to the Edinburgh Castle on Saturday night to see the Shakespearos, our friend Mark (Our "MC" at the wedding) fronts the band. They're a post punk cover band and belt out hits from many different groups including Joy Division, The Ramones, The Clash, The Cure, The Smiths, and Echo and the Bunnymen.
After a few superb games of pinball (Road show) it was time to head upstairs to the sweat box where the Shakespearos were playing. They were really on form and I think it showed in the crowd, we were on our feet all night doing the "Pogo".
We bumped into 2 Johns, no not toilets, both of them are partners of Kari's team mates from her womens football team. We ended up hanging out with them the rest of the night.
As for the music, well they did a great "I fought the law" the Stranglers' "Nice n sleazy" was brilliant too, I think their "Blitzkreig bop" was the best of the night though, the crowd went nuts.
The band also picked up a new groupie, a 6 foot 4 "woman" who used to dance on stage for the Stranglers in their heyday.
I've got a feeling that she may have been a man at some point in her life. Anyway she seemed to be enjoying himself and even managed a shoutout from Mark.
