Kim Wilde Pulls in 2000
An audience of almost 2000 people greeted Kim Wilde in the Caird Hall, Dundee last night. Kim who appeared as part of her UK tour is perhaps still best known to most people as the daughter of 50's rock n roll star Marty Wilde. But there is no doubt Kim is rapidly establishing herself as a first class performer in her own right. Her performance last night left the audience in no doubt that she can carve a career for herself on her own merits.
Kim sprang to public attention recently with hit singles like "Kids in America" and "Cambodia" and it was that type of material that went down very well with the Caird Hall audience. An impressive stage show complete with large backdrop and good lighting added to the effect of Kim and her six piece backing band.
Support were BB an English duo who also received an enthusiastic response.

Timex Works Good Deed
The generosity of the workforce at the Timex, Milton of Craigie plant in Dundee has given an elderly couple a new lease of life. They raised £900 to buy an electrically-powered wheelchair for a 74 year old Craigiebank woman who had to have both her legs amputated following a series of heart attacks. Mrs Adelia Douglas had to rely on her husband to propel her conventional wheelchair. Mr Douglas found the task increasingly difficult as the years progressed. Now the Timex workers have come to the rescue.
