About this listen

 In this predictably offbeat episode of "Backing Tracks," Tam and Jim delve into the mystifying world of social club singers. From off-key renditions of Sinatra to the enthusiastic but pitch-challenged regulars belting out folk classics, our hosts uncover the hidden 'gems' of this quintessentially Scottish phenomenon. They swap stories about the eccentric characters who are stars in these social hubs and explore the inexplicable popularity of certain '70s hits, and the bizarre yet endearing rituals that make up the backbone of this unique cultural tapestry. Tune in for a good-hearted laugh at the world of the social club and its valiant efforts to keep Scotland singing—often bewilderingly, but always with unmatched passion.
