Marmalade
One of Scotland's most successful and long lasting groups. Their cover of the Beatles' Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da was their big number one and charted for 20 weeks in 1968. They were making hits right up to 1976 when Falling Apart At The Seams reached number 9 in the UK charts. In between that time they spent 120 more weeks in the charts with Reflections and Loving Things.

Tex Leon & Friends
A covers band playing anything from The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Chuck Berry to Boyzone and Robbie Williams. They don't take themselves too seriously and are always up for a bit of banter with the crowd; in fact anything goes!
