Locals who tried to scotch The Killers

AMERICAN band The Killers played in Falkirk this week, fronted by my favourite rock god Brandon Flowers.

However, not everyone was happy. Several in the town moaned about the noise, forcing the local council to ask the band to turn it down. How embarrassing! Dare I point out that this did not happen at any of their English concerts? Better not.

Sample complaints included a householder called Alan whingeing on social media about his ‘expensive, relatively new double glazing’ vibrating because of the decibel level.

A woman out walking her dog could ‘clearly hear the words to Mr Brightside and I am sick of it’. In addition, a concert goer grumbled that the local police ‘weren’t very polite to me’ when she asked why the traffic was so bad, while another complained that he was charged ‘£18 for two hamburgers’ at the venue.

My God! Has having a good time ever been so difficult? ‘Thanks to everyone who risked it all coming to a gig in Falkirk,’ tweeted the band after the show. I know what they mean.

And is it so terribly wrong to suggest that Brandon (right) can come and rattle my windows any night of the week, relatively new or otherwise? I hope not.
