Frontmen from two of Scotland’s most beloved bands have joined forces for a pre-Valentine's Day night music fans of all ages will love.

The always pulsating Temple, in Burnbank Road, Falkirk will be hosting an Evening with Richard Jobson of The Skids and Martin Metcalfe of Goodbye Mr Mackenzie from 7pm on Friday, February 10.

Mr Jobson, now a respected author and filmmaker, was but a spotty teen when unleashed The Skids upon an unsuspecting record buying and gig-going public in the punk year zero of 1977.

During the band’s relatively short lifespan he formed a formidable songwriting partnership with future Big Country singer Stuart Adamson that spawned Into the Vallley and other gems.
