Status Quo - a 29 year gap since the last Nairn gig

The revamped Ballerina Ballroom site (remember the blog for the Rock Exhib that was meant to go ahead alongside the Cinema of Dreams) gives the last gig as August the 7th 1970. I went over to that blog for a look after the following comment came in on the other Quo post.

'Flower Power said...

Elton John, Rod Stewart, Status Quo all wrinkly rockers what next
in the highlands LADY SAGA.
*****
Saw The Quo twice in The Ballerina
& also would you believe in The
Town Hall, Cullen when i had hair.'

Just wondering where the bands used to stay after the gigs. B&Bs in Nairn? Did the Quo stay somewhere in Nairn?

Rocking all over the Carse! - The Quo for McDermott's yard!

Seems the stuff of dreams but Status Quo will be playing this year at the former McDermott's Ardersier site known these days as Whitness Head.

'A charity concert to be headlined by veteran rockers Status Quo is to be held in a former oil platform construction yard near Ardersier.
Rock 4 Life's organisers, Caledonian Productions, had planned to stage the event at Bogbain Farm off the A9 near Inverness. '

'The former McDermott construction yard at Whiteness on the Moray Firth is earmarked for a housing development. The developers have donated the site for Rock 4 Life on 1 and 2 May. '

More on the BBC site, thanks to Nairni49 for forwarding the good news to the Gurn. Man those Dolphins sure rock! Anybody looking for accomodation for this event and has just landed on this post then try www.visitnairn.com for a wide range of delightful places to stay. If you want to see a few pictures of our area and Nairn the nearest town to this Status Quo event (a town with two delightful beaches) then try a few of the picture sets on this page. Nairn is a really friendly town, we look forward to seeing the Quo fans!

Can Gurnites think of any appropriate Quo lyrics that could be adapted to commemorate the occasion?
