They were the first Scottish girl band to break into the charts 60 years ago and the first to ever play Wembley Arena as they toured with The Rolling Stones. Now the story of The McKinlays, a pair of sisters from Edinburgh, is to be told in a documentary to be screened at Fringe by the Sea in North Berwick. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Jeanette Gallacher, who formed the band with her sister, Sheila, in the early 1960s after taking part in a local talent contest at an Edinburgh nightclub, is to speak on a panel at the festival, ahead of the showing of documentary Since Yesterday on August 10. The documentary, by co-directors Carla J Easton and Blair Young, who will also speak alongside Ms Gallacher, examines the 'untold' story of Scotland's 'missing' girl bands and looks at why they did not enjoy the same level of fame as their male counterparts. 'Guys have power that girls don't in that business, especially back then,' Ms Gallacher said. 'We would be knocking on the door of the agency asking for our money and be told 'oh, the cheques haven't come in'. The McKinlay Sisters supported acts including The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Gerry and the Pacemakers, but never became household names and struggled to make ends meet as performers. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Jeannette Gallacher was one half of the McKinlay sisters who supported bands including The Beatles in the 1960s. | Fringe by Sea Ms Gallacher recalls the day she and Sheila were asked to record their songs at a studio in London after winning the contest, following a short tour of Scotland. 'The very idea of going to London and making a demonstration disc, which was what we were doing, was incredible at age 17,' she said. 'My dad would have signed anything, we didn't know anything about the business. It wasn't a good move at all, as the agent was not very caring and we were sent all over the place without any management. For the solo girls on their own, it must have been awful. But at least I had my sister, so we never suffered any actual abuse, but we were not supported.'

Ms Gallacher remembers finding the members of The Beatles to be ordinary people. The McKinlay sisters. | The McKinlay sisters. 'You take it for granted because when you're doing it, you don't see them as these big icons,' she said. 'The Beatles were big at this point, but they were just very nice guys. They were just our colleagues, we would chat to them.' She remembers John Lennon as being 'a bit sarcastic', while Paul McCartney was the most friendly. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'Once, we were in Edinburgh at the ABC, in our dressing rooms and some girls tried to climb up into our dressing rooms because they thought that was where they [The Beatles] were,' she said. 'A lot of nonsense went on, it was quite funny.' Following the release of their fourth single in 1965, the sisters moved to Germany where they toured as The McKinlay Sisters. Jeanette later became one half of a vocal duo called Die Windows, scoring a number one hit in Germany in 1972, before retiring to bring up her family in Edinburgh. Sheila McKinlay died 13 years ago. 'Doing the documentary without her felt strange,' Ms McKinlay said. 'It was bittersweet to look back on that time, the special time with my sister.'

Ivanka Trump puts on elegant display as she teases her night out in London
Ivanka Trump turned heads with an effortlessly elegant display during a glamorous evening out in London. The First Daughter, 43, shared two glamorous images to Instagram alongside the mysterious caption, 'evening pending,' with The Rolling Stones song 'Jumpin' Jack Flash' playing in the background. The caption teased a night out in the English capital, without revealing the occasion. In the photo, Ivanka can be seen leaning against a stone column inside an opulent marble-floored hall. She is wearing a breathtaking Johanna Ortiz gown, featuring a navy tropical print on a nude base with a matching shawl draped around her shoulders. Ivanka finished the look with strappy gold heels with her gorgeous blonde hair styled down in soft waves. In the comments, fans gushed over her fit of the evening. The post, shared Saturday afternoon, has gained over 35,000 likes in just a few hours with over 700 comments. 'In your top 5 looks of all time,' one follower wrote. 'Best dressed in every lifetime,' another commented. A third simply wrote: 'Slaying the look.' It was not the first time Ivanka has tapped Ortiz for her occasion wear, with the mom-of-three previously sporting a $1,250 dress by the Colombian fashion designer to surprise volunteers at the Latinos for Trump headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona, in September 2020. In 2019, during a visit to Bogota, Colombia, the former first daughter, also wore a striking green dress with billowing sleeves by local designer Johanna Ortiz. Dresses by the designer typically cost anywhere from $350 to $3,250. The 'Ocean Of Secrets Maxi Dress' which she was sporting on Saturday is currently on sale for $898.50 off of the staggering price tag of $2,995. While Ivanka was posing up, her brothers Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump were 400 miles away at their father's golf course in Scotland. The location was tagged London, UK - which hints the glamorous ensemble may have been her outfit for Apple heiress Eve Jobs' wedding, though Ivanka has yet to confirm the event she was attending. Eve Jobs tied the knot with Team GB showjumper Harry Charles in a star-studded ceremony in front of high society friend in the picturesque Cotswolds countryside. The late Apple CEO's wife Laurence Powell Jobs, 61, is said to have splashed out $6,718,000 to make the four-day wedding of model daughter Eve, 27, and her gold medalist fiancé Harry, 26, the society wedding of the year.

Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger cuts a dapper figure as he celebrates his 82nd birthday by partying through the night at A-list bash - as the Gallagher clan descend on SAME venue for Oasis afterparty
The Rolling Stones and Oasis had quite the unlikely crossover on Friday night as both clans descended on the same venue for two separate A-list parties. Mick Jagger celebrated his 82nd birthday in style as he hosted a star-studded bash at private club The Rex Rooms, which is co-owned by Jason Momoa. It was a night of rock royalty as his bandmate Ronnie Wood joined the festivities along with stars including Sacha Baron Cohen and Jimmy Carr, while Mick's ex-wives and kids were also in attendance. However, in an unlikely crossover, the Gallagher clan also descended on the same venue as they booked out a room in the venue for an Oasis afterparty. After Noel and Liam Gallagher wrapped up their first London show in 16 years, the Gallagher offspring including Lennon, 25, and Gene, 24, headed to The Rex Rooms to celebrate. For his A-list bash, Mick cut a dapper figure in a white silk shirt and black trousers, which he styled with a spotted black jacket. He stepped out alongside his fiancée Melanie Hamrick, who put on a very leggy display in a black sparkling mini dress. She added to her frame in a pair of pointed black heels and toted her essentials in a black handbag as she stepped out hand-in-hand with Mick. Mick and Melanie have been together since 2014 and they share a son, eight-year-old Deveraux, together, who is the rock star's eighth child. Also in attendance was Mick's daughter Georgia May, 33, who oozed sophistication in a black strapped dress with a side split. The supermodel completed her look with a pair of pointed heels and stepped out alongside her partner, skateboarder Cambryan Sedlick. It was also quite the Rolling Stones reunion as Mick's bandmate Ronnie Wood, who put on a vibrant display in a blue T-shirt patterned with butterflies. He completed his look with navy trousers and a beige blazer and carried a bright pink 'Happy Birthday' gift bag as he came ready with a gift for Mick. Ronnie looked as loved-up as ever with his wife Sally, 46, as they stepped out arm-in-arm for the star-studded occasion. He kept comfortable in a pair of black trainers and appeared to be in jovial spirits as he flashed a huge smile while getting out of his car She added to her frame in a pair of pointed black heels and toted her essentials in a black handbag as she stepped out hand-in-hand with Mick She cut an elegant figure in a black silk mini dress and a black cardigan and she appeared to be in jovial spirits as she flashed a huge smile Mick's ex-wives also stepped out en masse to celebrate with him as Jerry Hall - who is the mother of Georgia May and Gabriel, 27 - joined the celebrations. She cut an elegant figure in a black silk mini dress and a black cardigan and she appeared to be in jovial spirits as she flashed a huge smile. The American model stepped out alongside her son Gabriel's wife Anouk Winzenried, who looked effortlessly chic in a black and white striped button-up dress. Luciana Gimenez - who had an eight-month affair with Mick during his marriage to Jerry in which they welcomed a son Lucas - was also in attendance. She took to social media to share smiling photographs of herself and her son Lucas While the Rolling Stones party continued into the early hours of the morning, the Gallaghers also descended on to the venue for the Oasis afterparty - though Noel and Liam didn't appear to be in attendance. Gene - the son of Liam Gallagher and Nicole Appleton - cut a casual figure in a yellow jumper and blue jeans, which he styled with a pair of dark shades. His brother Lennon - whose mother is Patsy Kensit - looked equally laidback in a denim jacket and washed-out jeans. Oasis took to the stage at Wembley Stadium on Friday night for their first of seven reunion shows at the sold-out venue. It marked the first time that the band have performed at Wembley Stadium since their Dig Out Your Soul tour on July 12, 2009. The Gallagher clan have been flocking out en masse in London to support Oasis' big comeback, with Anais and her mother Meg also both in attendance on Friday night. Noel's ex-wife Meg, 59, has been steadfastly supporting the singer in the lead-up to the reunion, posting throwback snaps of them to Instagram, and she also attended the first night of the tour in Cardiff. She once again stepped out to see Oasis perform as she posed with her daughter Anais and her father Stanley Matthews in photographs shared to social media. In other clips shared to Instagram, Meg filmed herself with a group of pals in the crowd and appeared to be having the time of her life. Ahead of the gig, Meg reminisced about Oasis's previous London gigs and gushed that Anais - who was seven months old when they last performed - is just as proud of her father now. She said: 'Reflecting on 25 years ago when @Oasis rocked the stadium with 70,000 fans, and Franny fru fru, Pippy la la, Rose & Ra Ra, @lexyroche made it right to the front barrier don't know how we did it. 'Now gearing up for tonight's show with 90,000 attendees. Time flies, memories remain. Anaïs only 7 months old then to watching her now so proud of her dad , a full circle that was me just 2 years older than nai nai running around. 'Tonight will be a celebration of family and friends, a moment to cherish. Seated this time, but the excitement remains just as strong. Here's to another 25 years of music and memories.' Oasis' Wembley dates got off to an emotional start as Liam and Noel dedicated their concert to Ozzy Osbourne, who died on Tuesday at the age of 76. His death came just weeks after he took to the stage for his final show with Black Sabbath, with his family confirming the devastating news. The Gallagher brothers respectfully honoured the Prince of Darkness by singing Rock 'N' Roll Star in front of a huge image of Ozzy. In videos shared across social media of the tribute, Liam said: 'Liam said: 'I want to dedicate this next one to Ozzy Osbourne, Rock 'N' Roll Star.' MailOnline revealed that an air ambulance was called to Ozzy's grand country home as paramedics battled to save his life for two hours. Friends told the Mail's Alison Boshoff that his heartbroken wife Sharon may bury Ozzy in the gardens of their 350-acre estate in an intimate family funeral, as she is 'too frail' to go through a larger, public service.
