Hook Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 - Best movie: Gregory’s Girl pips Restless Natives for me due to the casting - Chic Murray’s cameo was genius. - Best band: Big Country. - Best singer: Billy Mackenzie (The Associates). - Best song: Rip It Up (Orange Juice) or Heart of Midlothian by Andy Stewart ;-). - Best actor: All of the above, but a shout for the late Ian Richardson (former pupil of Balgreen Primary and Tynecastle HS).

And your choice of song was one of my three "greatest of all time" when asked to put them together for a lads' night about 10 years ago. Really tough to choose a best Justin Currie/Dels song though. Might go for the whole Waking Hours album. Of Change Everything. Why do I have to choose??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I'm having a real struggle with most categories. Best band is obviously Del Amitri but we haven't half punched above our weight in that category. Best singer is probably Annie Lennox but it's a real tough category. I've considered Paolo Nutini but probably more for his songwriting than singing. At the other end of the scale, finding a "best film" is like finding Sports Personality of the Year in the year that Zara Philips won it. A small field and none of them troubling my top 20 films ever. Best song is something by Del Amitri (Move away JB or Here and Now or It Might as Well be You) or something by Nutini (Iron Sky, maybe). I love being decisive! Best Actor? Peter Capaldi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love being decisive! Best Actor? Peter Capaldi. I did my work experience in HMV in Argyle Street. On our first day it was the signing for the 1998 World Cup song by Del Amitri. I was the one that stapled the wee posters to the boards to sit behind them at the table. They did the song and another couple, the signing then left through the backdoor downstairs. Justin Currie patted me on the back on the way out and said "see ye later" to me and my mate. I'm not a Del Amitri fan but that was pretty cool.
