The Real Saints Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 The last couple of weeks have been a bit crazy for me. My little band (acoustic duo) have recorded St Johnstone's Scottish Cup Final song and we've been receiving a fair amount of media attention - interviews with STV, Radio Tay, The Courier and Perthshire Advertiser, as well as articles in the Scotsman and the Daily Record. Definitely not used to this kind of exposure, but it's been brilliant. This is spam, but you can listen to the track here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSAiEALN4eY I definitely took a gamble when I wrote it, as it's nothing like your usual cup final songs. However, I've been relieved to see that the general reception has been really good. Anyway, apologies if you hate it. If you do like it, please feel free to download/share the song (even if you're not a Saints fan.) After the first day of sales, we were at #3 in the Amazon Folk Charts and just outside the top 100 in the iTunes Pop Charts (ahead of recent hits by Miley Cyrus and Pharrell). Not so 'Happy' now, are you Pharrell?! Classic banter.. Anyway, hope you like it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AberdeenBud Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Shared it with another Deen Saintee tonight TRS. He loved it and had downloaded before we'd left the pub. Hope I was right in telling him a percentage of every download is going to your youth development fund? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Thanks CGR! Shared it with another Deen Saintee tonight TRS.He loved it and had downloaded before we'd left the pub. Hope I was right in telling him a percentage of every download is going to your youth development fund? That's correct. 50% of every download will go to our youth development fund. Cheers mate! Much appreciated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GorgieRoad Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Cleverly written song, St. Johnstone hardly the easiest name in football to fit in. Enjoyed it, nice one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHallSaint Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Ive got to go pick up outstanding money owed to me for a job i done nearly 6 weeks ago now. The guy died just as i had finished it so i left it at the time and told the client i would wait and if she could just phone me once the funeral etc was out the way. I am now needing it to start another job, its quite a large sum of money and i need to pay my account so I can get more materials. I'm not looking forward to it as she's avoided my calls last week and ive got a feeling she is going to try avoid paying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) I would consider taking a hit and hiring a solicitor to sort it out with the executor of the will. Maybe wait a week for the woman (widow?) to respond? Do you have the dead guy's signature on paper work to back you up? P.S. I have no experience of this stuff, so you're probably better advised going round with a pickaxe handle.

Maybe wait a week for the woman (widow?) to respond? Do you have the dead guy's signature on paper work to back you up? P.S. I have no experience of this stuff, so you're probably better advised going round with a pickaxe handle. I really cant afford to take the hit. In all honesty it would leave me in a big hole. They paid the first £6k up front but that was only half. It was a massive job and i knew the guy was in decline. It was why he wanted the extension done so he could have a downstairs bathroom and a conservatory. I don't think money is even an issue, they are well off. The guy retired when he was 50 after selling his logistics company and the house must be worth best part of half a million. Its more a moral issue and i only ever dealt with him. Ive got paperwork and im sure she knows how much is still owed. Ive left it long enough i think and im needing the money this week. I'm not going to go in all guns blazing and i hope i don't have to go down the solicitors route but ive just got a sneaky suspicion its not going to end well If all else fails P&B's tried and tested method of a swift boot in the pie should suffice Edited May 11, 2014 by YHallSaint 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) To be honest, I'd open negotiations with the kick in the pie and take it from there. Then she'll know you're not fucking about Edited May 12, 2014 by KnightswoodBear 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityDave Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Been a long time since I've sat on my arse all day and watched tv/computer live sport streams. Discovered wiziwig.tv (lets see how long that lasts before either pulled or ruined with popups) Watched the GP2 race at Barcelona, a documentary about USA v Iran in World Cup '98, followed by Aberdeen v Motherwell, while also having the F1 GP on the telly at the same time, then Liverpool v Newcastle followed by Derby v Brighton and finally Atletico Madrid v Malaga. Tried for Sau Paulo v Corinthians after the Athletico game finished but there was no link and stopped there. What a great day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityDave Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Just finished watching that myself. Really enjoyed it. Quite incredible considering the history between the two countries and how it takes the common love of football to show the way. Both teams set an example of goodwill and sportsmanship that put the politicians to shame. Good game, I remember watching it myself back then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, that was the first World Cup that I fully appreciated. I was 10 at USA '94 but with the late kick off times etc I didn't see too much of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
