Name the greatest gigs ever staged in Fife!
That’s the challenge we are posing readers as we prepare to publish out 2017 FP100 - our annual celebration of the great and the good from the Kingdom.
Over the past seven years we have chronicled the 100 greatest Fife sportsmen and women, businesses, iconic buildings, the most innovative Fifers, our top bands and produced the definitive 100 top Fifers of all time.
This year we are collating the 100 top gigs staged in Fife.

What’s the one gig you were at – or even read about and wished you’d been there – in Fife that stands out in your memory?
Was it The Beatles playing Kirkcaldy? Elton John at the Kinema, Dunfermline?
KT Tunstall’s intimate gig at the Inn at Lathones? The Proclaimers first ever gig with a full band at the Lochgelly Centre?

Or is your stand out memory a live show from the dance hall days of big bands – or of seeing a band perform in a now long forgotten old haunt?
We are inviting your nominations to help shape our long list of nominees for the FP100 which will appear in this paper around the end of February.
The sole criteria for eligibility is the gig must have taken place in Fife - any venue, any time, but within the Kingdom’s boundaries.
So ... what is your all-time favourite Fife gig?
