Friday the 24th of November we were all celebrating a happy occasion, Denis got married to his sweetheart, Dorothy Sinclair.
The occasion was marked with much partying, Jamieson’s Big Pockets, not being shy of a good party, managed to trick the Fustra off the stage (with Adam’s tasty suppertime soup) and take the stage.
We were joined by Lerwick Moothie legend and Uncle of the bride Tom Sinclair for Blues Travellers “Maybe I’m Wrong”.
Here’s the photos to prove it!

Captain Beefheart is a hero of mine. His music might not be to everyone’s taste, but there is not much I can do about that.
Here is a selection of Captain Beefheart clips from YouTube:
