splendid stuff. you must send me that pic of the wedding.

I'll send the scary pic I have of 'Marty Feldman' woman to Zapps.

All of those pictures tell a story. A great piece of the past captured for the future in a very small but historical part of the city just on the fringe of the centre. I'm looking forward to the 'do'.

Great images, we have a date, how about a location.

It's at the Silvestrian club, Silvester street off Vauxhall Road, Liverpool 5 and approx 220 of the 350 tickets (over 2 rooms) have been sold. A bit slower than the 03 reunion by all accounts that went within 48 hours. Apparently many turned up on the day expecting to get in but couldn't though that may happen this time if there's any unsold

Thanks Ged, now how much and where can we get tickets.

[John(Zappa)]

Drone,the tickets you can get at the Silvestrian club,Scottie press (both in Silvester st) and they're a mere £5.
Hope to see you there.

There's a great band on

12 noon till 12 midnight

Plus scotch pipers, Irish dance band, Acoustic guitarists, also (I think) Stevie Faye - the comic.

THE importance of Scotland Road to Liverpool’s international reputation is widely recognised.

May 31 2008 by David Charters, Liverpool Daily Post

Louise Ellman, MP for Liverpool Riverside, whose constituency includes it, sent this message: “In 2003 the 200 years history of Liverpool’s Scotland Road was celebrated with a grand reunion for past and present residents. I am sure that this ‘Scottie 08 Reunion’ will be equally successful and enjoyable. It will be a very meaningful addition to events marking Liverpool’s Capital of Culture Year.”

Praise for the event also came from the Liverpool’s Culture Company’s Open Culture section, run by Phil Redmond.

“Scotland Road is known the world over, as many hundreds of thousands of people will have ancestry who passed through the area on route to the new world in the 19th and 20th centuries,” says Charlotte Corrie, one of its facilitators.

“The area is legendary for its close knit community spirit and the Scottie 08 Reunion ensures the continuation of that spirit into the 21st Century. It is very fitting therefore that a Scotland Road Reunion in the city’s Capital of Culture year should receive the endorsement from Liverpool Culture Company and be given best wishes for its success.”

TICKETS for the reunion, priced at £5, are available on 0151 330 0222 (the Silvestrian Club) and 0151 482 2000 (Scottie Press).

Even the Titanic's main corridor/passage was known as Scotland Road. A name given to the same part of many British registered Ocean going vessels.
