Au Contraire Billy !  ;D

I quote :

http://www.oralcancerfoundation.org/people/arts_entertainment3.htm

"Very early, Stewart realized that soccer was a chance for him to earn a good living. He practiced hard everyday, and in his late teens he signed an apprentice contract to play with the Brenton FC Football Club. But his soccer career was not what he expected. Too much of the time he was taking care of equipment for players on the first team, and his actual time on the field was short. After only a few short weeks, Stewart hung up his cleats, and decided to pursue another profession. The other major influence in his life, music, soon came calling."

A highly unauthoritative article, as the club referred to is Brentford, not Brenton.  ::)

And CLEATS ?  :D  Puh-lease !  They are called "Studs" if we are referring to Soccer Boots !  :D

Nonetheless, he never went anywhere near playing Soccer for Scotland, and that is a fact!  He certainly is one of the proudest members of the "Tartan Army" though.   ;)

I liked 'Letter from America','500 miles' and 'I'm on my way' but to call them singers would be being too generous with compliments.

Quoting:Simple Minds
Deacon Blue
Big Country
End Quote

'Simple Minds' were great (especially 'All the things she said','Don't you forget about me' and 'Belfast child'.

I didn't care for Deacon Blue's 'Wages day' but I did like the cover of 'Never fall in love again' and 'Twist and Shout'.

Only liked the rousing 'One great thing' from Big Country.

Quoting:...and not forgetting the daddies of 'em all...
The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards with that stirring version of 'Amazing Grace' (bagpipes throughout!) - about as appealling as fingernails going down a blackboard...!

Lol. Have you heard 'Scotch on the rocks' by Band of the black watch, Paul? I actually liked this song (despite it being bagpipe music).

What about Lord Rockingham's XI? Are they Scottish? I loved the classic 'Hoots mon'.

Quoting:
M (Robin Scott) - 'Scott' by name? My references say he comes from Croydon, just outside of London! Permanently known for 'Pop Musik' (a fun song)...

Hmmm...I guess my source must be wrong then.  I could have sworn he was from Scotland.  :-/

Band Of The Black Watch...Good Lord, Bobby...what graveyeard did you dig that one up from...?!!

Remember it well...more pipes, but infinitely more bearable than 'Amazing Grace' at a pinch...

Lord Rockingham's XI (despite the song's name) were not Scottish (as such), but rather have me rattle on about 'em, try here for a lowdown...http://www.45-rpm.org.uk/dirl/lordr.htm

The graveyard was my grandad's record collection. He would play it to me (for his own pleasure mainly). It became a bit of a sentimental piece for me to remember my grandad by.

Thanks for the site, Paul. I didn't realise that there were so many musicians in the band.

My choice use of 'graveyard' there, Bobby, was not intended as any kind of slur against your Grandad whatsoever...

...my sincerest apologies for that...I'll choose my words a tad more carefully in future...(removes clodhopping foot from mouth...)

Ho ho! I was not offended. I tend to answer questions by repeating part of a question - Probably habit (and a lot of A' level English lessons).

Thank you for your concern though. It is much appreciated.
