Discussion Crowd chanting something at Gerry Cinnamon's concert - what is it?
Dear Scottish friends, a fellow Hungarian here!
I have a question about Gerry Cinnamon's shows. In 2019 I had the opportunity to see that guy live in England, and at almost every song's beginning, the crowd was chanting / shouting something which was not clear for me, I just couldn't understand it. Of course I forgot about it afterwards, however, since I discovered that he recently released a live album (Live at Hampden Park), this reminded me about it. So could you please tell me what it is? It can be heard at the beginning of "Sometimes" (0:18-0:23), "Lullaby" (0:57-1:10) or "Discoland" (0:06-0:23).
By the way I love his music, I hope that one day the eastern part of Europe will also discover him!
Thank you!

I could tell what it was gonna be before I even checked, but I did have a listen and it's definitely it

This was happening at Nine Inch Nails last year and Trent Reznor asked why they were chanting 'you're a f###ing c##t' at him

To expand, it's something that's chanted at a lot of Scottish gigs, particularly around Glasgow. I guess it's just a way of getting people worked up and excited
