The first drummer was Dave leslie from Alyth and that was the first line up to go to the Melody maker comp. in Bathgate. [Steve played bass ] After that they played in the Lion's den on the clepington road where the photo was taken. Later as they gained a reputation they played in the bowling alley, queens hotel and other gigs in Scotland. The main gig being in Strathclyde univ. and winning the Scottish heat of the Melody Maker comp. which gave them a chance to play in the Roundhouse in Chalkfarm London. The band imploded after that and went their separate ways untill they reformed as Sharon Tabors backing band in 1975 which is an entirely different story.helmsdale drivenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-31484757037289232972010-02-09T12:10:16.392-08:002010-02-09T12:10:16.392-08:00Gary and Ged were never in Elegy. the photo poste...Gary and Ged were never in Elegy. the photo posted showed the band that won the Scottish heat of the melody maker national folk rock contest in 1974 think it was having originally entered as a 3 piece the previous year. the band's bass player Neil Connell won the prize for the best bass player.
