Friday night was the third time The TAMS have performed on the Princess Theatre's stage. First in July of 1913, then again in May of 2014. It had been five years since last evening's concert, but the Princess audience hadn't forgotten them. The kept the beat, sang the lyrics, and cheered as Lil Redd (Albert Cottle) ran the isles urging them on to a higher plain of love and understanding through his music!
The name Tams came from the group's wearing "Tam O’Shanter hats" on stage. The tams all gleamed under the stage lights, but were unable to hold back the sweat of their brows! They work hard, and for a photographer, that makes it hard to freeze the action; they are always moving!
There is a legacy being carried on from the original group, and it can continue through the sons and grandsons of the group. Two youngsters joined them on stage and thrilled the audience with their moves, and the thought that the music will continue in the future. I just hope there will be people who will be moved by the music of The TAMS after those of my age group are gone. It's great music that makes one feel Young, feel Foolish, and feel Happy! It's certainly music this old "60s Kind Of Man" grew up on!
The bottom line here folks, is that the Princess is providing a great lineup of live music and theatre for your enjoyment. Get up, get out, and get entertained!
