I have to say I do like Deacon Blue. Shame no Big Country as they were brilliant.
This obsession with trotting out half century+ pensioners at these opening and closing ceremonies really has to stop.
I don't mind the "oldies" but equally there are plenty of Scottish bands from this century who could also make an appearance surely.
kenny mann would still take LuLu to Spoons for a livener (NAP)
I quite liked that I have to say. Big Country would have rocked the place though for sure.
This is better - and agreed Slippy, Fields Of Fire would have been the perfect song for a closing ceremony.
I saw them support The Stones Tommy and half the crowd thought Big Country were the better band!
You can't get more Scottish than bagpipes, kilts and haggis (not that there is any haggis in this ceremony) 
This guy obviously googled Seb Coe's speech this morning.
I would happily have all commonwealth games held in Glasgow if we ended up doing this well in them.
just seen this, Fred.
Capercaillie = lovely music

In fairness, Glasgow have done a first rate job.
Full venues (and great support) for all sports and all sessions for CWG is quite some achievement.

This has been a great, wonderful and memorable Games!
trilby - it was no slight on Glasgow, merely the phrase was a bit Blairish for my liking.
Ok Bert, sorry - just tuned into this thread.

I take it this singer is ex soap actress like the rest of Aussie singers
The aussies are youthful, vibrant and sport-loving. That's what they like to have us believe but apparently they too have a serious obesity problem just like us!!
Anyone else finding the closing ceremony boring...time for bed me thinks
Can't get you out of my head was for me Kylie's most overrated song and it didn't help that the radio stations at the time played it to absolute death!! Still, record sales don't lie and it was her best selling song ever.
Brilliant games and a brilliant closing ceremony (I missed Lulu at the start but me missus said she was woeful).
Ae fond kiss and then we sever was a masterstroke for the handing over of the CG flag. Very poignant piece of music.
For those that didn't like it then as my auld mate aye says Awa n pap peas at yer granny.

The Burns song "Aye fond kiss.." when handing over the flag was wonderful.
