BMG Invade Scotland
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver January 26th, 2004
Not content with forcing the latest batch of Pop Idol pups (or, in one case, mammoth) down our throats, BMG are cruising Scotland for potential boy band members.

Auditions are to be held in Aberdeen, Dundee, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Inverness and the Isle of Lewis. Why just Scotland we don't know - perhaps the success of that aforementioned Scottish pop titan is getting BMG's collective brain ticking over. (What's it been doing All This Time?) Or maybe it's just because every misguided fool in England and Wales has already tried out for a boy or girl band.

BMG's recruitment ad' reads: "We are looking for males aged 16-24 who are great singers, dancers and look good!" Insert your own joke about good-looking Scottish folk here...
