The Fab Faux. I’m sure I first heard these guys via this site some years ago:

Yes, I have a vague memory of SR. No memory of being in the presence of a Pan’s Person. Maybe I was on the Newky Broons that night. Even then, I would be unlikely to have forgotten and would no doubt be telling […]

Although I have all but stopped drinking alcohol over the last couple of years, I do still have the occasional pint of Guinness (6 pints so far this month, so currently averaging about 4 units per week, well below […]

Funny you should mention Hue & Cry (did I tell you this one before?). Anyway back in the late 80’s, one of my circle of musician friends was backing singer for H&C. You can see him on Youtube in the Top of The […]

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 […]

OOPS! Sorry, it was Joni not SRV you saw!

I’m afraid I also saw him Stevie – 3 times in fact. 2002 at the Victoria Hall, Annan, 2009 Strathclyde Suite GRCH and 2011 at the City Halls recital rooms. Excellent each time and we even managed a wee chat with […]

Gerritrightupthem big man!

I also own two but I have attended gigs by three. So, I reckon the prize is mine.

In the mid-seventies I bought Phaedra by Tangerine Dream. I think I bought it either because I liked the word ‘Phaedra’ or because I was trying to impress some bonnie lass. Anyway, I have no memory of ever having […]

I believe you are correct. I scanned the Pretty Green website briefly and clocked his name and reference to his album. Must tell my impressionable chums I’m on trend. One thing I like about the jacket is that […]

After a long search for a new casual jacket, I recently purchased a cool, collarless (think 60’s Beatles) navy blue number from a large store in Buchanan Street, Glasgow. It’s my first corduroy garment since the […]

It’s right next to the bucket of compressed air
