Rocking all over the Carse! - The Quo for McDermott's yard!

Seems the stuff of dreams but Status Quo will be playing this year at the former McDermott's Ardersier site known these days as Whitness Head.

'A charity concert to be headlined by veteran rockers Status Quo is to be held in a former oil platform construction yard near Ardersier.
Rock 4 Life's organisers, Caledonian Productions, had planned to stage the event at Bogbain Farm off the A9 near Inverness. '


'The former McDermott construction yard at Whiteness on the Moray Firth is earmarked for a housing development. The developers have donated the site for Rock 4 Life on 1 and 2 May. '

More on the BBC site, thanks to Nairni49 for forwarding the good news to the Gurn. Man those Dolphins sure rock! Anybody looking for accomodation for this event and has just landed on this post then try www.visitnairn.com for a wide range of delightful places to stay. If you want to see a few pictures of our area and Nairn the nearest town to this Status Quo event (a town with two delightful beaches) then try a few of the picture sets on this page. Nairn is a really friendly town, we look forward to seeing the Quo fans!

Can Gurnites think of any appropriate Quo lyrics that could be adapted to commemorate the occasion?

    I can see this is going to be the new summer of love for us pensioners

    First Rod Stewart was announced and now the Quo, you youngsters don't know what you're missing.

    These guys play proper tunes and have songs you can sing to

    This loon is going to be seeing if he can still get his loons on
