Mainly footballing names from my old school. Sir Matt Busby, Celtic Lisbon Lions Billy McNeil & Bobby Murdoch all from before my time and all, sadly, no longer with us. Very much alive though is ex Celtic and […]

Happy to make a wee donation. I know I don’t appear much at all comments-wise but I tend to check in most days and I am always entertained and informed. Keep on running!

In the early 70’s I was taken to a bar called The Crazy Daisy by my late, older brother who was a drummer with local bands at the time. The Crazy Daisy was in Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow and on Saturday […]

Thanks for the review @niallb. I am now looking forward even more to the Dawes gig at Oran Mor in Glasgow tomorrow. I bought my tickets back in June and this will be the 4th time I have been at one of their gigs. […]

Yes, indeed, Chris has been most ubiquitous and has played with a large number of bands and artistes. Never really set the heather on fire under his own steam though. Good guitarist

Single Let’s Dance by Chris Montez 1962/63. Bought by me and my 2 older brothers. Think I put about a shilling (5p) in.
Album Morituri Te Salutant – Colosseum. around 1970. Bought 2nd hand from Kenny McFadzean […]

I agree with PW that Holmfirth is a lovely town. I have friends who live in the nearby Clayton West. The Picturedrome is a great wee venue too. Well worth a visit. Must get back there soon. However, August 1st is out.

The patron saint of the Status Quo – St Francis of Rossi

Could it have anything to do with the fact that, around that time, Elton John was part-owner of the Los Angeles Aztecs soccer team? Randy California was born in Los Angeles. Maybe he was pissed off at an English […]

Despite the fact that I am a proud Scot and the Corries sang some great songs including one of my faves, Kishmuls Galley, I would have to rate the whole MO experience as outstanding. My big brother who was 6 […]

Only 2 degrees R2. Stevie Wonder covered If I Ruled The World and Sandy Nelson covered Uptight.

I beat it Colin! MO and The Corries. The Corries are best known for Flower of Scotland which was written by the late Roy Williamson, one of the 2 members. I attended gigs by both in the 70’s – MO in Glasgow’s […]
