DENNY & DUNIPACE PLAY LIVE ON SCOTTISH TV.  The band were selected to play in front of 60,000 people at our national rugby stadium Murrayfield, twice in November 2006.  Our national rugby team were playing The Pacific Islanders and Australia, we were there!  For the Islanders there were 4 bands, whilst at the Australian game there were 5 bands in total.  Of course we looked the best!!!

18 November we left Denny by coach to travel to Edinburgh, MURRAYFIELD STADIUM the home of Scottish Rugby. The band were one of four bands chosen to entertain the crowds before the game. With a melody of tunes including our anthem: Flower of Scotland. So who did our team play? The Pacific Islanders, the score? SCOTLAND 34 PACIFIC ISLANDERS 22.  It was a chilly day but we all enjoyed it - including Paul McLean who took pictures (as usual) and accompanied the band. A great time had by all, and - we are going back next week to do the same again, this time our team is up against Australia, a hard game it will be. .....................  The Aussies humped us!  Some photos from that game below, warming up in the coach park and, marching onto the pitch for the islanders game.  I forgot the camera for the Aussies!

 

RUGBY - the Autumn Series has shown that Scotland are growing as a team. The Aussie defeat was a setback and showed that we cannot afford to make errors - such as not staying on our feet long enough to get the support players there - but we have the nucleus of a good squad to go into the Six Nations and the World Cup.
