Supported The Rezillos at G'mooth Toon Hall (1st time around) and released a double A-sided single (Downtown/Smok Walk) on the Housewives Choice label (catalogue no JY 001).

I bought it in a moment of weakness....

...or was it in Bruces?

That gig in Grangemouth: the band I was in around the time was meant to be playing on that bill, according to our excitable leader Stewart Cuthill, who must be about 70 years old now.

Bruces: you'd be able to pop in there for a record in 2 minutes from yer base, but for it being shut for maybe 20 years....or longer!

Why do I know that name

He didn't go by the name of Stewart Everest any time did he?

What was the name of your band Gee?

Remember the Bruces 'fanzine' Cripes?

Great gig though. And the Ramones are so hip these days that you can make your children jealous just knowing you were there.

Saw The Rezillos three times Mo (2 x G'mooth, 1 x Apollo) but I only got into the queue for Da Brudders' gig at the QMU.

That, and the fact that I never got to see The Bunnies live is one of the enduring (musical) regrets of my life.

Fuck em all.

The blue-shirted ones.

The black-shirted ones.

The blazered ones.

Their 'move-along-nothing-to-see-here' pals in the meeja...

We're gony win this league.... Despite your best efforts.

'yersel Gene!

I've got a few singles and the original album Glad but I'd be delighted to get them as good quality MP3's if you can oblige:cheers:


On a similar vein

Much as I like Imelda may, Jimmy, the original remains the best:



And of course pop-pickers will remember Gloria had a role in a tragedy more than a decade later involving a well-known superstar pop pixie....

But here's a belated answer to your question from an earlier page re. GMMcK...

With a bonus.....



I saw SM years ago singing with GMMcK. She wasn't half as alluring as the Garbage version

Another for Immo, was gonna post a later cover but what the fuck



I'll listen to that track in a minute Mo

Probably said this before but one of the last vinyl albums I bought, got it for 99p outta Woolies::UpYours::

Yeah I've probably posted this before but I'm back on the vino after a 12 day absence. It might not mean much to you lot but I'm in an edgy mood so here it comes




There's not a better version Mo .... end of

I'm probably going to have to drink more often, bloody timewarps

Have the vinyl single of this

Oooh, hark at her! Argumentative or what?

Actually I agree on the Sex Machine, Jimmy.

Although......

Eddie Cochrane's a Hun, well he can go fuck himself. I never knew he played a RSC

Nah Mo, I've even given Sir Tams version and it doesn't compare. Tony Bennets version is good but just not good enough

You made up for all past sins with that Orbison / Cash thang, Jimmy.

Su-fuckin-perb.

Good to hear Mo, you know crown hates country etc so I'm not going to be in his good books

Fuck it he's not here anyway

Stellar work on this thread recently.

The Cash/Orbison thing is a fuckin joy James - already up to about a dozen viewings of it - brilliant!

Has anybody told Fairdoes about the "new posters must make a minimum of 3 posts on any/either of the music threads" rule yet?

I'd be surprised like

Seen as I just made it up.

PS

If you've already posted and I missed it FD... I'll blame it on the Rooshian wine.

Gotta love Mr C.

A wee cover to whet the appetite for Craig Charles' superb Funk & Soul show at 7.
