not everyones cup of tea(I used to hide the fact I liked em,lol) but most folk I know like them but then I live in Scotland .

I know there popular in the USA and in Germany.

So was wondering do folks down south like them?

Yeah they're kinda cool in a strange sort of way. But I'm fucked if I'm walking 500 miles to see them.

I like what Frankie Boyle says about them. People tell him he looks like one of them. He points out which one, as they both look the fucking same

Absolutely love them

Seen them loads of times

Vastly under rated

True musical poets x

You know so many more songs than you think!

Many people see then as a 500 mile parody tribute act of themselves yet songs like sunshine on leith causeway side and joyful Kilmarnock blues demonstrate a real musical craft x

Also they demonstrate a real political awareness of the times - eg Scotland's story and the like

My fav is " life with you" google it live from Edinburgh castle to see 10000 people singing along and the Proclaimers at the top of their game x

I really like them. I've seen them live and it was a good show.

Couldn't stand the film though.
