Scottish 11 September 2010
I was at the Proms in the Park in Manchester tonight (yes, that was me on a hill to the left of the stage) and it was a great night out but the whole thing was truly made for me by a woman sitting behind our group who gave a repeated and orgasmic ‘YES!’ to all musical pieces played. It was almost like a rallying call. She was particularly taken with John Barrowman and when he told us, before singing ‘I am what I am’, that lots of people wanted to him to change things about himself over the years and he refused she shouted ‘you’re a Scottish’ (sic) with no dark intent or malice, and then continued to shout ‘Scottish’ with fair regularity…which was further enhanced by the fact that John Barrowman was speaking with his American accent tonight. YES!
Great fire works display at the end (though I’d say it represented a year’s budget for the arts in someorother area!).
Good times.
