Pet Rob boys
November 17, 2006
PET SHOP BOYS will bring in the new year by having a Highland Fling with ROBBIE WILLIAMS.
NEIL TENNANT and CHRIS LOWE are headlining the famous New Year’s Eve celebrations in Edinburgh.
And the whisky-fuelled revellers are in line for a late Christmas present with a guest appearance from the Pets’ pop pal Robbie.
He is lined up to perform She’s Madonna with the electropop legends at the Hogmanay bash, as they call it up north.
The Pets used their knob-twiddling skills on the ode to Madge, which features on Rob’s latest album Rudebox. I reckon there couldn’t be a better ticket in the country to see in 2007 with a bang. A source said: “Robbie, Neil and Chris have become close pals over the last 12 months.
“They performed together earlier in the year for a radio show and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
“It will be one hell of a party up in Edinburgh.
“Robbie is up for doing at least one number but if things are going well he could end up doing more.”
Robbie is off the booze but the Pet Shop Boys are well known for enjoying a proper knees-up.
Their live shows are always a massive spectacle and the New Year do won’t be any different.
I was there the last time Robbie performed with Neil and Chris.
In May they played a special gig for Radio 2 in the Mermaid Theatre in London — and it was brilliant.
The December gig is billed as The Concert In The Gardens at Edinburgh’s Royal Bank Street Hogmanay Party.
It takes place in Edinburgh City Centre on December 31 and usually attracts about 300,000 bladdered punters.
The PSB’s live show is currently getting rave reviews in the USA and they are promising to play all the classic tracks from their 25-year career.
She’s Madonna will be released as a joint Robbie/Pet Shop Boys single in January and will coincides with the start of the Boys’ full UK tour the same month.
PAOLO NUTINI, Scotland’s new ROD STEWART, is also on the Hogmanay bill. So I reckon it’s worth packing some headache pills — in anticipation of the hangover — and getting up there.
