Here’s a flyer – thanks to Michael Rose – aka Marblehead Johnson – for sending it through – advertising a 1996 gig at Dingwalls, in support of third album ‘A Happy Pocket’.
Dingwalls is a venue adjacent to Camden Lock in London, England. It houses bars, cafes, clubs and is one of the city’s best known live music venues. It is possibly more renowned for the famous jazz dance club ‘Talkin Loud and Saying Something’ with Gilles Peterson and Patrick Forge.
Lovely shirts!
Here’s the ticket stub from the gig. Thanks to Stephen Lewis for the image. Little known fact: Stephen is the man who directed the videos for All The Dark Horses and also, I Hung My Harp Upon The Willows – a talented man I’m sure you’ll agree.

So sang Rachel Sweet in 1978.
But there was no singing from the Trashcans when they were booked to play the London Marquee’s ‘Band Explosion’ in 1990.
Sponsored by the NME and also Nescafé/Nestle – purveyors of fine chocolates and the like – the band, well basically pulled out of the event in protest against the chocolateers, but I’ll let you read the story for yourself.
Here’s what was reported in the NME at the time…

Homecoming Scotland 2009 was a series of events designed to attract people of Scottish ancestry to visit Scotland.
The Homecoming started on 25 January 2009 (Robert Burns night) and ran until 30 November 2009 (St Andrews Day). Throughout this period there was a long list of events, including several well-established attractions like Celtic Connections, Glasgow International Comedy Festival, Royal Highland Show, Edinburgh International Film Festival, Edinburgh Military Tattoo and the Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival.
Another Homecoming celebration though, was Kilmarnock’s Tartan Tidings – a low-key affair combining musical entertainment from local ‘heroes’ culminating in some Z-list celebrity switching on the town’s Christmas Lights.
The 2009 event had an array of talent including the Donnie Munro Band, Andrew Merry(?), A Gospel Choir, Peatbog Faeries and the Trashcan Sinatras.
Now you’re probably wondering why the Trashcans were mingling with the Z-listers, but if you know your history – which I’m sure you do – then you’ll know that Kimarnock was the band’s home for several years, so it seemed appropriate for the organisers to ask some real heroes to return for the event.
Frank, last week…
