Born to boogie...
A trolleyload of shortbread, a Dashing White Sergeant and a lot of Hot Love made for the best party in town on Hogmanay. The 250 listeners of BBC Radio Scotland were up on their feet for most of the night dancing to Tom Orr and his band and our T-Rex tribute act Hot Love.
I didn't realise the music of T-Rex had such broad appeal but we truly had six year old and sixty year olds all on the floor at the same time. Get It On was a highlight (Well, I would say that!) but maybe it was Robbie Shepherd that Marc Bolan had in mind when he wrote about wearing " a tall hat like a druid in the old days" in Ride A White Swan.
