1 a good joke from the runrig messageboard

Ever wondered what is said when fans and media are away from the band? In those genuine seconds after a show has finished? Well, I can exclusively reveal some transcripts of conversation picked up when the crew left the recording equipment running. Fascinating stuff.
********************************************************************************

Runrig have just come off stage from another stunning gig and are discussing various things as they unwind.

Rory: Great gig, guys. Loved all of it. Smashing.
Calum: Smashing, eh? Well you’d know, right enough.
Iain: Aye. You look like someone about to battle Peter Pan if only he could remember where he put his claw.
Malcolm: How is the hand, Rory?
Rory: Och, much better. Doctor says I’ll be able to play bass again in no time at all.
Malcolm: Did you hear that, Iain? Rory’s going to play the bass the same way you play the drums!
Iain: Oh go iron a shirt.
Malcolm: I would, but Bruce borrowed the iron.
Calum: Where is Bruce anyway? I hope he wasn’t involved in the Conservatives winning that election in Canada.
Iain: Oh I’m sure Bruce wouldn’t be so stupid as to do a thing like that.
Calum: Donnie and Peter went into politics, didn’t they?
Iain: I meant join the Conservative party.
Brian: Hello, lads. How is it going?
Rory: We’re just wondering where Bruce is.
Brian: He’s not flown back to America has he?
Rory: Canada!
Brian: Good heavens! Why has he gone there?!
Rory: Och, never mind. Look, are you all packed up and ready to go?
Brian: Yup. I packed my hair gel, trendy jeans, classy shirts and hair straighteners.
Malcolm: And the keyboards?
Brian: Ohhh nooo. I knew I’d forgotten something!
Iain: Well has anyone else left anythingon stage?
Malcolm: Och, no! I just remembered! I bought a new set of bagpipes and left them on the tour bus!
Calum: It’s too late, Malcolm. Someone’s already broken in and left two more sets on the seat.
Rory: Sorry to interrupt but someone’s phone is going off.
Calum: It’s Bruce’s.
Brian: Hey, that ringtone- isn’t that one of Donnie’s solo songs?
Iain: The traitor!
Calum: Hey, come on, he was our lead singer, give him credit!
Iain: I meant Bruce.
Bruce: Oh there you are, guys!
Malcolm: Where have you been?
Bruce: Erm, uh, just...went to get a beer.
Iain: But I went to get a beer during Gabriel’s Sword and they said the bar was closing.
Malcolm: Really?
Calum: Yeah, really? A beer during Gabriel’s Sword? I normally get Horlicks.
Rory: Go on, then, Bruce. Where were you?
Random Fan: Oh hello, I have a backstage pass!
Iain: Well go back to the stage, then.
Rory: Iain!
Calum: Iain!
Iain: Iain! Oh, I mean, sorry. Great to see you. Did you enjoy the show?
Fan: Er...yes.
Malcolm: Do you have many Runrig CDs, then?
Fan: Any what CDs?
Malcolm: Runrig.
Fan: No, I prefer cycling to be honest.
Malcolm: What? No, I said Runrig, not running.
Fan: Right. Erm, anyway, well yes I loved the gig. Especially the one about Nova Scotia.
Rory: Ah yes, Rocket to the Moon.
Fan: Rock it to where?
Rory: No, no, Rocket.
Fan: Actually I thought the noise level was perfectly acceptable. Bruce, are these your support band or something?
Brian: Outrageous!
Fan: Cool name for a band!
Brian: Argh! I think I see what’s going on here! Bruce went off to do a solo gig at the same time as he was playing with us!
Calum: I wondered why you disappeared during Big Sky!
Bruce: Well I don’t have any words for the last bit.
Rory: You left in the middle of the first chorus!
Iain: How could you wander off in the middle of a song!
Malcolm: In fairness, it’s better to do it then than at the start.
Iain: True.
Bruce: Alright, I’m sorry. It won’t happen again.
Rory: Damned right it won’t. From now on, we’ll block off the stage exits.
Bruce: Try all you like, guys. I saw that massive ship at the back of the stage during Proterra. I’ll just jump on that and escape that way! Har har har...etc etc.
