In a shock announcement, bound to shock all those who hear the announcement, Glasgow's premier Death Ceilidh outfit the Oatcakes are to split up. Six years after they first went really loud at some student do at Glasgow Uni they have decided that a slight sogginess has occured, and that it is time to go their separate ways. Guitarist Rod ("Roddy Morrison") Morison said: "Yes, it's true. We were rehearsing for the Loch Fyne Traditional Music Festival when we realised that the Oatcakes had indeed become soggy due to being kept in a clammy drawer and rarely seeing the light of day. Unfortunately, soggy Oatcakes are no use to anyone, so we decided to throw them away." The final appearance of the now somewhat mushy band will be at some wedding in Lanark on Friday 27th September.

While at the Loch Fyne festival, Rod ("Roddy") spotted Alan Dick in the street and successfully managed to hide from him behind the singer out of another band. It is not believed that the appearance of Alan Dick and the subsequent sogginess of the Oatcakes are connected.
