Star rating:
****
The Proclaimers playing at the top of Leith Walk is one of life's few sure things. Beneath a huge Hibs banner hanging from the balcony, they were 5-0 up even before they kicked into New Religion, from their excellent recent album Life With You. The twins aren't performers by any stretch of the imagination. They have an unflashy, stand-up-and-sing-'em-out ethos that harks back to Merle Haggard or the Everly Brothers, but the fact that their charisma is on a low flame is, you suspect, the whole point: their utter lack of rock
star otherness is a major part of the appeal.
