Hello from Glasgow, Scotland


Hi Folks

I am a 28 year Scot and a BIG VH Fan.

I have the pleasure of playing MIKEY in Scottish based Van Halen tribute band VAN HIELAN (pronounce HEELAN, which is an old Scots words for the "Highlands").

Checkout the band at http://www.vanhielan.com

I will post up and MP3 of our version of DREAMS from 5150.

We cover Dave and Sammy material - The Best of Both Worlds!

Regards
Paul.

Welcome Van - glad to have you here. As a fellow Scotsman (both sets of grandparents are from Edinburgh) I'm particularly pleased you are here.

Howdo Van Hielan !

How far South do you come, or do you just play Scotland based gigs ?

I listened to your stuff before (didn't you p[ost at VHLinks as well) and was really impressed with your stuff.

Welcome to the site !
