It’s Skool Days "Back in the Summer of ’69", when the tar used to melt between your toes and Pink Custard was all the rage in the Skool Dinners.
Best days of our lives!
Days of the Belt, The Skool Bully and Behind the Bike Shed!
Back to Man’s First Step on the Moon, Woodstock and when "I Dream of Jeannie" and "Hogan’s Heroes" were the Hits on TV… remember "Hawaii Five O" and the original Beverly Hillbillies?. 1969 also saw the Birth of the Internet.
We take you on a nostalgic trip back to the "Summer of ’69 Skool Leaving Dance", where our class are getting forced to dance the night away to the sounds of Scottish music. Can this bunch of no hopers get rid of the teachers long enough to enjoy the music that they want…. The Fabulous Sounds of ’69.
Hits like…… Build Me Up Buttercup… Get Back… Sweet Caroline… Honky Tonk Woman… Suspicious Minds… Stand By your Man… and lots lots more!
So whatever age you are, whether you want to relive your Skool Days! or want to see exactly what your parents got up to back then this show is for you.
It’s a brand new great musical comedy classic which will have you
"Rockin with Laughter".
So dig out your old Skool uniform and join us…
Back in the Summer of ’69!
This Sensational Comedy
takes us back to the
Skool Days of ’69.
Will this bunch of no hopers
ever do what the teachers say?
It’s sure to turn out a scream
from start to finish.
It’s Back to the Summer of 69.
Great Comedy! Great
Music! Great Fun!

This Show sounds fab! When will it be on again? I'll bring along some friends. Or maybe I'll bring my other half, although he might be too young. 2yrs.younger me.
The Summer of 69 was one of the best shows I have seen at the Pavilion. I would love to see this show again, it was funny from start to finish. Maybe the Pavilion could bring it back again and have the Chris McClure Section as the band playing at the school disco. Gordon McCorkell, Stephen Purdon and Douglas Sannachan were all brilliant. Hopefully the Pavilion will bring this show back again sometime soon.
When is it coming Back good fun and entertaining
The Best Thing Ever Stephen Purdon Eho Played “Wee Frankie” Said Happy Birthday To Me And I Cryed Then I Met All The Cst =D It Was The Best Day Of My Life 😛
xx
Me and my mum thought the show was fab, laughed loads, cast were excellent especially shellsuit Bob
(hee hee). XX
My friend and I went through to Glasgow from Fife to see the show. It was advertised in the newspaper (The Sun) and we thought it looked good and would be based around our own school days.
However, we did not for one minute realise that it would be so good, we laughed from beginning to end and have spoke about it on various occasions since. Wish we could see a rerun as I think we laughed so much we may have missed some of the punch lines.
It Was Amazing 🙂 My Friend Got Stephen To Say Happy Birthday To Me On Stage 🙂 A Wos Crying Lol 😛 x x
The show was amazing the cast were excellent the female cast were hott! and it was so funny best show ive seen great work hope they come back and do it again 100-100 🙂
this show was fab on a very wet and lousy Saturday afternoon….it made us very happy to be there….and it stirred up many memories of our school days. We met in 1969 at our first year of high school. Went our separate ways until meeting again in 2004. We now plan to get married in May 2008….a lovely happy ending. Thanks to all the stars of the show…you were all brilliant..xx

i thought it was a great, show, i was with my mother, sister, and freinds and they all thought it was great, a very funny night enjoyed by all of us, want to go again,.
My classroom memories of Summer of 69 are very vivid – it was the year I left school! I remember a song called Oh Happy Day playing on the radio the day I left and thought it was very appropriate!
My classroom memories of 1969
I was only 7 and don’t really remember much, but 1969 has always been the first year that I remember writing the date at the top of my jotter
It was my first summer at school. I remember sitting on the edge of an outdoor pool shivering and refusing to get in because I was afraid. The school then ran a siwmming gala with ice creams and I overcame my fear.
In the summer of 69 I just started school a little primary one pupil.
Sent off in to the big wide world of education.
If only I knew then that those would have been the best days of my life
i was conceived in the summer of 69 and my memories were probably them making out at the school dance and having me !!
My summer of 69 was spent at residential school and I loved it!!! – I cried when I had to go and I cried because I didn’t want to come home!!! It was the best 6 weeks of my life, with 2 big firsts – my first time away from home on my own and my first boyfriend at the tender age of 13!!! – Those were the days!!!
Memories of 1969?
The moon landing, without a doubt. The Rolling Stones Honky Tonk Woman, Thunderclap Newman – Something in the air. Clodah Rogers – Come back and shake me, Curly McCann etc., mini skirts, white tights, shirts made by Arthur Black the shirtmaker in St Enoch Square. There was a shooting in Allison Street in Glasgow, something to do with a bank robbery, were the culprits holed up in Allison Street? am sure a policeman was killed. Pretty sure it was a hot summer.
