Here's some songs I've ripped from vinyl from eighties Glasgow band The Kissing Bandits who played the Kelvingrove Festival at some point.

Allegedly, there has only been one person who appeared on Top Of The Pops twice in one night on different songs by different bands (sic), and he was a Glaswegian. Any guesses?

It can't be Tony Burrows as he sang on three different songs on one night on TOTP.







He appeared several weeks later singing

....er, er, alright then, you can miss out the 'only person' bit, since it's obviously rubbish.

Maybe the only Glaswegian, though.

I have a mild suspicion that the last person liable to find the Queen Mother 'pant stirring' died some years ago.

On a lighter more bridge building note, your link is decent, but if it's your band than you might want to rethink
the dull, plodding rythym section.

The TOTP Glaswegian is Steve Archibald who sang the Scotland 1982 World Cup song and the Spurs 1982 cup Final song on the same edition.

[Josef]

Yep.

Anyone have any information on a Glasgow band from the 70's by name of Greenmantle?

I've managed to find out some sparse facts and source a couple of albums but other than that I'm stuck.

Cheers if anyone can impart any sort of scuttlebutt on the what's what and the who's who.

That's them Dex .. I had found the mySpace site. Got talking to the singer Billy the other day (new album in the making incidentally .. coming soon) and thought I'd do a bit of digging. Didn't get any further than a couple of old discs via ebay and the mySpace site to be honest.

Donovan Sunshine Superman

Davie Scott speaks to Donovan and pals about the dippy, trippy 'Sunshine Superman' album. He recalls his unusual recording process, his massive US breakthrough and his longing for a lost love. It'd be another 6-years before he and Linda Lawrence finally got together, but making her a muse for this worldwide chart-topper certainly helped his cause.

BBC Radio Scotland Listen Again

I hear this programme this morning and enjoyed it. You may too.

Why would Doorstop "leather" Marty Pellow for smoking some cannabis ? As a professional doorman , would it not have been normal to just put him out of the premises, or did he refuse and start a wee "stushie" then I could understand a wee bit of rough handling to remove him, after all he is not Mike Tyson and if he had been puffing "blow" as intimated, would he not really have been in much of a state to cause a "stushie" then perhaps Doorstop's granny could have put him "oot" !!!!
