NEVER MIND memory lane, musicians took a stroll down the rock ’n’ roll highway in Dunfermline yesterday.

Nazareth’s Pete Agnew and Dan McCafferty teamed up with members of 60s west Fife group The Falcons to talk about the good old days.

It was all being recorded for posterity by members of Dunfermline Camcorder Club, with the interviews being given to Dunfermline Carnegie Library.

The get-together stemmed from an evening to mark the 40th anniversary of the reopening of a refurbished and extended Kinema Ballroom in Dunfermline.

Entertainment historian Brian Nobile staged a reunion of local bands and singers who had started their careers in the venue.

Because it was on the Scottish gigging circuit, top chart acts like David Bowie and Elton John played there, but the nightclub also supported local bands like The Shadettes who evolved into Scottish legends Nazareth, and The Falcons.

The charity night was a great success, with many old bandmates getting together for the first time in years.

The Falcons can soar once again as original leader singer Trevor Forster from Rosyth saw a market for 60s sounds and since then there have been several performances of the Sixties Experience.

Sharing their reminiscences yesterday alongside Trevor were Bud Heeps, Jimmy Bryce, Al Fraser and Davie Porterfield.

The Nazareth duo, who are rehearsing in town centre bar Sinclairs, where the meeting took place, joined in.

Nazareth started out in the 60s as a cover band The Shadettes, packing dance halls not just in their home town but all over Scotland.

“All I hope to do here is to keep the memories alive for future generations,” said Brian.

“The interviews will be given to the library and I am hoping to get a website set up too.

“It is great to get the band back together and playing live locally so lots of Dunfermline and west Fife people can enjoy the music from four decades ago.”
