Re: Glasgow’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

I used to hang about with Peter Lyons from Kick Reaction. The guy was borderline genius but just shading on the nuttier side of of the coin. Talented man all the same. He used to nag me to manage him once he'd gone solo....was working as a postman last time I saw him. Lives in Hamilton still. Now I ...

Re: Glasgow's Cycling Heritage

The guy that ran the site was called Bob Reid and I believe he'd a shop somewhere Eastish like Aberdeen or Dundee. Presumably the site was costing him money!
