Hotel Califonia (Near Falkirk)

We took a fun "24 hour holiday" to Peebles, not Falkirk, to see Hotel Califonia - an Eagles-esque band that we'd seen before in Haddington and been unexpectedly impressed by. We parked the van and took a walk along the Tweed a bit and up a little hill overlooking the town, leaving time for a beer and a bar supper before the show. They band were decent enough, given the middle-of-the-road tunes they have to work with, but it was a little disappointing that the presence of a new vocalist meant standout man, Al King, did a bit less of the singing this time - we were really only there for him. Another reason for going though, was to see the Eastgate Theatre - Richard's church conversion, now over 20 years old. We'd never made it upstairs past the cafe on previous visits. Just before the show we bumped into flying student Mike Davidson. I'll whisper it to Richard, but he got the one seat in the house with the restricted view. Oops. The theatre was lovely though. After a blether with Mike, we stealth camped in the town centre, and early next morning wandered past the theatre again to take a few more photos on the way for a catchup with flying friends and Peebles residents Pawel and Kasia.
