I seem to remember Andy Williams visiting St Marks Church around about 1980 - I don't know why he would have done this but maybe I am getting senile and it didn't happen. Can anyone confirm?
The Stair - 6 OXGANGS AVENUE EDINBURGH (incorporating OXGANGS - A PASTIME FROM TIME PAST) - The everyday life of eight families living in one of the post war new council housing schemes on the south of the city set in the lee of the Pentland Hills between the years 1958 to 1972.
hi how about a face book page or group for the stair iam it deserves to reach and entertain more people

there is one Paul, but Peter is rarely on it :(
ReplyDeleteI remember the Andy Williams visit. My mum made me go down (we stayed in the Green)with her to see him. He did a version of Ave Maria with St. Marks kids doing the chorus, for a programme called "Christmas In Scotland" (I think) with Johnny Cash.
ReplyDeleteI think at the time I was surprised how few people attended. The producers/directors/whoever arranged the seating so the first few rows were full, then as you moved back towards the door, the rows shortened so the last few had only 2 or 3 people. When I seen the show on TV, the place looked heaving! My mum was well chuffed though seeing this big American Star. And she still lives up the hill.
