Thanks Sylvia, I had a great time and its nice to do something different. We go into to Edinburgh by the train too, we didn't get back home until after midnight.
I saw this once, many years ago about 1978, I think. Until then, I wouldn't have said I was a fan, but I was bowled over by seeing it there, with such a wonderful backdrop.
I agree that it is more of a "man's thing", but it was a beautiful specticle and yes Edinburgh is a wonderful old city and perfect for the celebration. Yes all the colours and they were great musicians too, its strange to see a brigadeer [sic] with an electric guitar.
When the EMT came to Sydney for the first time about five years ago, I went along. Wow was that a night to remember! I have watched it every January for years and years, but to see it IRL was an absolute joy. I thank you for rekindling the memories.
