You played outside, you played inside. Outside it was football, hide-and-seek, tag, etc. Inside your games were more limited, normally board games. But once in a while you'd play a physical game...and no, we're not going down the route of The Crystal Maze here. When you were young you might've enjoyed a good game of Sardines. Oh, how those days have come back and mugged the cast of Sunshine on Leith without warning.
On St Andrew's Day 2013 the cast got an invite to perform at one of the local hostelries, Greyfriars. Now, anyone in Perth will know of Greyfriars. Anyone who's walked past will also know how big the place is...or small, as the case might be. It's usually fairly packed on a Saturday, but on St Andrew's Day it was jammed-packed like a tin of sardines for a ticket-only event. And that event was the cast of Sunshine on Leith...plus band!! So that's six singers plus bass, 2 guitars, keyboard and perchance a drum, all squeezed into a tiny corner.
Needless to say the performance went down a storm. There was even dancing on the tables!! Although bass guitar having to be played almost vertical certainly was a sight - sorry Thom.
There will be more ad-hoc sessions in the lead-up to to our performances, so keep your eyes open.
