Cathies McCabe

Cathie McCabe's in the Murraygate wasn't exactly the coolest record shop in Dundee in the 70's, but I did find myself shopping there on a regular basis. Not for vinyl, but for concert tickets. Cathie was an agent and could get you tickets for any gig in Scotland. I ended up going to dozens of gigs in Glasgow & Edinburgh, sometimes as many as 3 a week. She would also run buses when a concert was particularly popular. Many of the acts, like, Bob Marley, never played in Dundee, so travelling out of town was the only way to catch them in action.
