Odessa, Ukraine for opening of Corvin Pub, 28th November 2008.

I was taken across to Odessa, Ukraine, for the opening of a Scotch whisky lovers Paradise. This new build pub, Corvin, can hold 200 guests, who can sample from the 800 malt whiskies behind the bar. They have put in 2 whisky stills, as well as a ‘working’ spirit safe. I played for the Launch night (comically called a night with Roddy Deans!) then for two Scottish shows for St Andrews Celebrations. My banter was translated into Russian, and even the chef from Moscow tried his hand at making haggis (the first time I have ever seen a real stomach getting used for this purpose!)
