Souled Out and the case of the missing casesPublished on 1st May, 2008

Souled Out’s Scottish oddysey continued and thanks to BA, this time was close to disaster! The UK’s most travelled party band in April, Souled Out arrive at Aberdeen airport to discover that, in time honoured fashion, their cases had gone elsewhere. After several minutes uncontrolled panic, the client dispatched the band to a local tailor, who fitted them out in nice new suits, while the girls scoured the local department stores and boutiques for new dresses.

 Souled Out minus cases

There was the inevitable delay while the girls finished their shopping trip, so the guys nipped in to a local hostelry to whet their whistles - purely in the interests of keeping their throats lubricated, you understand? In all innocence, as it was such a nice day, they all decided to stand outside on the verranda while the band’s only smoker had a quick intake of nicotine, whereupon the local constabulary arrived in Sweeny-like mode, to inform them that drinking on the street is illegal north of the border! They pleaded their case and were allowed to go free, with nothing more than a stern ticking off from Mrs Plod,  who John, the band leader, described as the only woman he’s ever met who frightened him more than his wife!! 

Needless to say, when Souled Out returned to the hotel, BA had managed to locate their bags and they arrived in the nick of time - another sensational show ensued and the band lived to tell the tale. They followed that with another performance on Saturday night at The Exhibition Centre and returned to Stansted, complete with their bags and their liberty.
