Here's a wee rhyme Charlie Gillen wrote, to celebrate the launch of our wee group 'Scad the Beggars'. 

Unfortunately, Charlie is no longer in the group, he's very busy on the radio these days, and the line up has changed a little over the years, but you'll be pleased to hear we're still going strong.

'Scad the Beggars'

WE’LL TAK YE BACK TAE GRANNY, 
WAE HER SKILLET ON THE CROOK,

THEY NIVIR LEEV’T WITHIN A BOOK. 

CHORUS

NOR HAE WE A FRYIN PAN, 
BUT WERE HERE TAE ENTERTAIN YE
