Hello, there my name is Alex McMillan. I was wondering if anyone
remembers the Ardeer Follies. I used to sing and travel all over
scotland with them. That would be around 45years ago,my sister Agnes was
in charge then. I also sang with Robert Wilson in Largs.

Remember the
Ardeer Follies!! I was in then for a year 43 years ago. It was hilarious
on the bus to and from gig's, one guy used to tune his bagpipes at the
back of the bus and what a racket it made along with everyone practising
there song's and even a few dance step's in the aisle. My singing was so
bad that when we did a dance routine I had to pretend to be singing by
mouthing the word's. The Erskine hospital for the war veteran's was one
of the places we used to go to and one of the turns we tapped danced to
the Yellow rose of Texas and some old guy shouted "You lot ur no fae
Paris" We looked really swell in our yellow and green cowgirl costumes.
I can only remember a few names Ann and Mary Malone from Kilwinning a
Mrs Reid married to Wullie Reid a bus driver with the Western I think
she made the costumes as I remember going to her house at the bottom end
of Stevenston for fitting's, Ian Dobson I don't know what part he had in
it. To long ago to remember anything else.
I just know we had a whale of a time.
