The hair is all natural,no curling required. Note the name of the band, because that was the inspiration for Johnny and the Self Abusers. You see John Millarkey, Jim ,Brian, Charlie et al used to go to the Doune Castle to watch bands. The Fourskins used to play there a lot, and it was also our local. There were a lot of fans, who all wore T Shirts emblazoned with the name. Of course they'll probably deny it, but I know better. We were brilliant by the way !!!!!
Hi Dirk, great to see Russ Abbot in the crowd with his see you jimmy hat on. Who is the little fella on the left, you didn't namecheck him
That is Billy 'Puss' Thomson. He was our roadie, and what a colourful character he was.Simple Minds new him as the Acid man , for some reason or another. He was a roadie with the Subs, (my old band the Subhumans, Stiff Records 1977/78), and helped us rescue lots of people trapped in the snow in the Highlands, January 1978. We were on the front page and centre spreads of nearly every National newspaper, Check it out. The Fourskins had two sets of girl singers The Cock Follies and the Sluts, how immature were we? But they loved it. Derek
Can anyone see the violin bow hanging from my microphone stand? I used this for our rendition of Led Zeppelin's 'Dazed and Confused' and 'How Many More Times'. Someone said it sounded like a Horse being shot. I also had a small wooden box with a footswitch that could turn on a red bulb inside the box. Spectacular or what? All the resin dust from the violin bow would make a reddy pink cloud as I knocked my guitar's pan in. Derek
What a smashing little chap. Scottish???
I suppose the guy in front of the stage (left at the table) is not 'pleasantly disturbed' ;-)
He makes a real 'get the *** out of here' impression
hahaha

Robert
