Stuarts girlfriend was also a keyboard player in the band. We stuck together practicing for a month or two but were dumped by our manager and could no longer use the seagate studios. Soon after that Stuart and Guy had a bust up about two days before our next gig, Guy then sold half the stuff in his flat to buy some second hand tape decks. We tried to record all the parts but it was a sh*t-fu*k. We pulled the plug and that was the end of JLB.

Originally they consisted of three guys on synths, Guy Gayford who worked in Forbes music shop next to the Deeep Sea, Stuart ? and another. The lead singer was called Steve ? who dressed a bit like Steve Strange. Near the time of the Bunnymen gig the singer was sacked and Jackie McPherson was brought on board.I think it was a case of her being foisted on them and they would make the big time. She didn't fit in with the band or their image and as the article said they looked awkward with her out front.I think Guy went on to promote some illegal raves and Stuart went on to work in studios in Dundee. Think most of the above is correct but it was 28 years ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-69683369644139871022010-09-13T15:52:43.379-07:002010-09-13T15:52:43.379-07:00I missed the gig in Dundee in '82 and drove up...I missed the gig in Dundee in '82 and drove up to Aviemore to see them on their tour.

Halfway through his set he placed his guitar on top of a table and proceeded to wallop it with a cane!<br />Wasn't his precious Vox mind you!RETRO DUNDEEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07746839418666784001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-77262569206210592662010-09-13T07:05:33.329-07:002010-09-13T07:05:33.329-07:00Yeah, McPherson is now Bird.
