Can't see anything on the net but was their a Scottish band called The Deerstalkers or something similar?
Seem to remember them from the mid 60s. |

Bay City, GOT? I knew a few of them but we won't go there and they were hardly rock!
I've heard of the Revillos but know nothing of them. Would you post a rockin' link in here sometime?  Drag, Big Country are mostly The Skids spawn. Good call Bruv  Not herd (sp) of the Deerstalkers, aka. |

I agree with The Dragon, I saw Big Country when they supported The Rolling Stones and they were absolutely brilliant.

The Revillos evolved from the Rezillos. I have a copy of the following in vinyl:

Big Country would never reveal how they got their guitar sound. I believe the lead singer committed suicide.

He did Slicer, aged 43.
Stuart Adamson was married twice. He had two children with his first wife Sandra in 1982 and 1985. His son Callum Adamson is the guitarist of British band Ahab. In 1996, Adamson split with Sandra and moved to Nashville. There he married his second wife, Melanie Shelly, and founded his final band, the alternative country band The Raphaels, a duo of Adamson and Nashville songwriter Marcus Hummon. On 26 November 2001, Adamson was reported missing by his wife Melanie. At the time, the couple had been estranged for six weeks, and Melanie filed for divorce on the day he disappeared. Adamson had been due to face drunk-driving charges in March 2002 and had been ordered to attend Alcoholics Anonymous. He was an alcoholic and had resumed drinking, after having been sober for over a decade. On 16 December 2001, his body was found in a closet in his room at the Best Western Plaza Hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii. According to police, Adamson had hanged himself with an electrical cord from a pole in the wardrobe. An empty wine bottle was found in the room. U2's The Edge delivered the eulogy at Adamson's funeral which was held at Carnegie Hall, Dunfermline. He told the mourners that Big Country wrote the songs that he wished U2 could write. In 2006, U2 and Green Day covered "The Saints Are Coming" by Skids as a charity single. From wikipedia. |

Believe it or not, I was also at that Ronnie Scott's show, feeling very sophistimicated. Sitting to my right was a young man and a blonde female out on a date. I don't suppose it was you two was it??? T I briefly exchanged a few words with the young lovebirds. He pointed out a few musical celebrities that were in the audience, one as I recall being Billy M's old songwriting partner and original Associate Alan R. If it was you, nice to hear from you again. Why the 33 year silence? It's not as if I pinched your date's purse from her handbag is it, or broke wind violently? Before the Ronnie Scott's show I'd been to see 'Ghostbusters' at the Odeon in Leicester Square on the massive screen. Didn't like it that much but before the screening they showed two pop videos which I still recall fondly. Bronski Beat's "Ain't Necessarily So" and Lloyd Cole's "Rattlesnakes". Both can be seen on Youtube as I recall. I managed to get the last train back to Portsmouth, but missed the last ferry over to Gosport (45 pence). Hence a taxi ride back home in the wee small hours with some licensed bandit. Happy Days. |
