Great-gran raves to Faithless at Renfrewshire beer festival in brilliant video clip

This is the moment a great-grandmother raved to Insomnia by Faithless with droves of revellers just outside Glasgow.

Marjorie Lawrie was up at the barriers to watch Drums N' Roses at the Houston Beer Festival in Renfrewshire.

The proud 86-year-old was supporting her grandson, Craig Lawrie, who performed with the band on Saturday.

Craig joked that his gran 'looked like she was in a queue for the post office' as she stood with her arms folded to watch him perform.

Hilarious footage shows the crowd going wild as unfazed Marjorie, who hails from nearby Johnstone, stood still to take in the bagpipe-led rendition of the 1995 dance hit.

Gladys Knight and the Seekers are more up Marjorie's street but grateful Craig, from Paisley, said she supports him regardless.

Dad-of-one Craig said: "She absolutely loves it, she's so interested in anything me and my siblings do.

"She stood there for a whole hour, she didn't need a seat.

"She has two hearing aids and had to turn them down, she doesn't get to see the band live very often.

"I don't think she actually knows what the song is, we did George Michael and Mama Mia too.

"I don't think rave music and bagpipes is her thing.

"I think she just goes to offer her support."

Craig described his nan as "one in ten million".

He said: "If she was put her LP player on, I don't think that would be her thing.

"She likes Patsy Klein, John Denver, Gladys Knight.

"She just stands there like she's queuing for the Post Office.

"It was my aunt that brought her along."

He said many people in the crowd were in their 60s and enjoyed soaking up the sun at the bash on Saturday in Renfrewshire.

Marjorie still uses a landline and has had the same mobile since 2004.

Craig added: "It was sensational, we look forward to this event every year."
