THE successful live music events at the ‘Glenny’ in Stevenston continue tomorrow (Saturday, July 26) with an appearance by Glasgow blues combo Dirty Diamond and The Gunslinger.

The bands own biography reads: “Dirty Diamond and the Gunslinger are a startlingly fresh blues band.

"When I say startling, I mean startling.

"Like being woken up at 3am by strange men in balaclavas shining powerful torches in your face.

"They stand out from the indie crowd like a large polar bear in sunglasses trying to sneak into a ‘penguins-only’ picnic.

"Some say they are a manufactured boy-band experiment gone disastrously wrong but we say the truth goes a little like this.

"It was fate that cemented the DDATG founders Alex and Pablo together.

"Alex came home late from work one night and found Pablo lying naked in bed next to his Gretsch guitar.

"A cat-fight broke out and Pablo won.

"After checking that his missus hadn’t been touched, Alex insisted Pablo put his clothes back on and join him for a few whiskeys.

"Our two heroes discovered they shared an uncanny chemistry and got worryingly drunk as a result.

"They hatched two serious plans.

"The first plan was to get more drunk and see where the night takes them.

"The second plan, after they had sobered up and disposed evidence of the previous night’s carnage, was to form the best blues duo Scotland has ever seen.

"They achieved plan two very quickly and then along came drummer Rice.

"We discovered Rice banging drums in a farmyard barn out in the sticks.

"No one knows how long Rice had been holed up there existing only on a diet of stolen farm produce and Buckfast wine.

"During his confinement in the barn, Rice had practised playing his drums obsessively and was undoubtedly the right man for the job.

"Baldrick pestered us for some time to be our bass player.

"He resorted to various methods of persuasion but it was bribery and, due to the fact that he had made his own impressive stand-up electric bass from empty Pringles tubes, we finally let him join.

"Baldrick harbours acute anti-social tendencies and is only ever comfortable in an online vacuum – for this reason he handles our website and other internet activities.

"Bobby staggered into one our gigs off his nugget on some strange dried mushrooms he found in a Spanish girl’s handbag.

"He loudly announced that he was blood-related to one of us and for this very reason he should be allowed to join the band.

"We are all too scared to take the DNA test to find out which one of us is actually related to Bobby.

"To stop him playing with himself on stage we gave him a harmonica to suck.” Interesting...

The gig starts at the Glencairn at 8pm with local support acts. Entry is £4.
