Mischief La-Bas own up:
‘It was us!’


Strange sightings of an 8 foot statue which mysteriously appeared then disappeared in the space of an afternoon have bamboozled villagers in every corner of Scotland over the last two years.


The mystery statue

We can now reveal that, far from any paranormal
involvement, this strange phenomena was actually the work of  Mischief La-Bas.

The statue to legendary Tango Superstar Carlos Gardel was erected with full pomp and ceremony in 25 villages and small towns throughout Scotland. Celebrating the singer’s alleged tour of 1931, the unveilings have inspired a great deal of curiosity, mirth and wonder from Orkney to Stranraer, as celebrity Irana Frump and Councillor Frank Patterson explain that – just like Carlos – the statue will only be remaining in the village for 90 minutes or so!



A LOCAL HERO
Part of Mischief’s strategy to ‘gently
warp the underlay of the fabric of
society’ the Carlos Gardel in Scotland
project has its very own website at www.carlosgardelinscotland.com,
where you can investigate films and
photos from each of the 25 venues.
As they say in Buenos Aires ‘Carlos
sings sweeter every day!’

A WAVE OF OPTIMISM

At the same time as infesting
Scotland with statues of Tango
Superstars, Mischief have also
been busy printing their own
money and distributing it at their
hugely popular ‘Market of Optimism’.

Six towns took advantage of
Mischief’s ‘Golden Ticket’ offer to
fill their streets with this magical
scenario featuring over thirty
performers and 18 attractions.
Human cashpoints, Rose-tinted
Opticians, Magic Bean Sellers and
the Ratcharmer of Ballyshamaloola
were just some of the characters
invading Aviemore, Perth, Dumfries,
Kirkcaldy, St. Andrews and Cumnock
over the past eighteen months.
