Dougie MacLean attending Scrum whisky selection

Dougie MacLean

This Saturday, 17 December 2011, Scrum will be visiting Scotland’s smallest distillery, Edradour in Pitlochry for nosing, tasting and selecting a cask of whisky which will be presented as their very own Special Scrum Selection on 27 January 2012 at theatre De Flint in Amersfoort (The Netherlands).

After having selected a cask of whisky Scrum will be playing a small acoustic set in the distillery hall. This very special concert will be given for Andrew Symington and his entire Edradour staff, relations, locals and very special guest Dougie MacLean. Dougie, a good friend of Andrew and writer of the wonderful song Caledonia (covered by Scrum on their latest album Killing Time), has had the honour of selecting a whisky a few years ago, which is now widely known as the Edradour Caledonia whisky, celebrating Homecoming Scotland in 2009.

Whisky importer Van Wees (Amersfoort, The Netherlands) offered Scrum a whisky sponsor deal for their theatre tour called ‘A Night at the Pub’, offering them an “almost unlimited supply” of an already existing whisky brand. But after having seen their theatre show (based on Edinburgh’s wee folk pub The Royal Oak), Van Wees was rather impressed with what he saw and decided Scrum deserve their own whisky.

The night prior to visiting the Edradour Distillery Scrum will return to the Royal Oak in Edinburgh where they haven’t been as a band since June 2008. Maybe they’ll even a play some tunes!

Scrum on BlankTV!

We’re pleased to inform you all that Scrum have been approached by BlankTV, based in the USA. BlankTV.com is the Net’s largest, d.i.y., free, uncensored punk, ska, hardcore and indie music video site, featuring almost 6,000 kickass music videos and live clips spanning the past twenty-five years of punk, hardcore, ska, oi, psychobilly, indie and underground music. http://www.BlankTV.com

BlankTV stumbled upon our “Killing Time” video clip and contacted us asking for permission to add our video to their database. An opportunity for Scrum to get our music abroad! With over 2.000 views in less than 3 days this is thrilling and given the comments people in the USA seem to like our music as well!

We’ll keep you posted!

A wee dram of our own “life water”

Marco — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 18:26:42 +0000

Finally the moment has arrived: In 2012 we hope to present our very own single malt scotch whisky. But before we can actually open a bottle and have ourselves a wee dram of our own “life water” a lot of things need to be taken care of first. After an extended period of nosing and tasting we hope to capture both the diversity of our personalities and the flavours of our likings as well as the sentiment of unity and the path of change Scrum has been on since day one. What it’s going to taste like no one knows just yet, but we’ll make sure it’ll be a one of a kind whisky, holding all of Scrum’s features.

We’ll keep you posted during this process!

Sláinte,

Scrum
