i ran about govan in the 80's and the show folk were there all the time the girls ues to go about with us and they were great girls i remember it all well about 4 years ago one of them approached me at the irn bru carnival she remembered me from all those years ago the show people gave us great enertainment and a lot of good friends......thanks to you all for my younger years and good luck to you all

that was brilliant! I live in Govan,from Maryhill originally,but have lived here for 10years,my father is a retired ship builder,who worked in govan so before i moved there i knew a bit about the place,I loved this video because my family generations ago were gypsies so I've got a lot in common,and I'd love to be a show woman,to be free.... :0)

Hi Tracy! Thanks for watching! If you keep an eye on our channel, there should be a fresh new upload in a few hours. More footage of Jimmy, more stories and some memories from some of our local Govanites about The Govan Fair and the shows at Elder Park ;)
