I visited the North Lanarkshire Flower Festival today. It is a bit like the Chelsea Flower show except with a lot of neds in Shell Suits.
I felt a bit sorry for the red-haired man who was singing in the entertainment area when we arrived. He was clearly prone to sunburn, but had been booked to do a one hour set in the blazing sun. By the end of his fourth number, he looked as if he had been subjected to a chemical peel and then buffed off with a coarse sand paper. He was giving off roughly the same heat as the number 2 blast furnace in Ravenscraig.
His songs sounded a bit angry. i have a feeling that they may have started out as gentle ballads, but as the afternoon wore on rather more angst was injected into the performance.
