74th Year! |
| Credits Dedication: This site is respectfully dedicated to my mother, Joan Flett Neilson Gourlay (nee Mather) & the memory of my late father William Watson Marr Gourlay (aka Bill) who was a well respected cinema manager with JB Milne & Caledonian Associated Cinemas.
My thanks go to: My wife Margaret & daughter Tegan for their support, encouragement, tolerance & patience over the 11 months I spent researching & building this site and the subsequent years of upkeep/additions when I really ought to have been doing housework & DIY! The staff of the Local History Department of The Central Carnegie Library in Dunfermline, Fife. The vast majority of the gig data was gleaned from a three-month, page by page trawl through 70 years of our local weekly newspaper 'The Dunfermline Press' held in the 35mm microfilm archive of the Local History Dept of our fantastic Carnegie Central Library (the first Carnegie library in the world and one of the best libraries in Scotland). During my semi-residence there I was most ably assisted by their friendly and highly professional staff. If it's been a while since you were last there, you're missing out on a great resource. As they say, "use it or lose it" The many webmasters, published authors and members of the public who have contributed to this site. Their generous assistance is invaluable and they can be seen listed on my Sources page.
