A great reflection of some of the stuff that went on then. Basically the whole thing was completely chaotic. I am surprised we even managed to get Strange News going! Yes I played in Stax, later known as Colossus with Ronnie Boyd, Pete Caithness and Fran Docherty. We had a great time as the band started in 4th year at school we were very young.I also played with a jazz outfit with two bros called the Johnstons. One named Ivor! Later went to live in Haarlem, Holland, trying to escape the drug scene in Dundee. Little did I know!! Anyway I played in a band called Well Brian, who did pretty well there. The last big gig I did was supporting Burning Spear at the Paradiso in Amsterdam. That was in 1982. Anyway nice to have been a part of it all.Gavin Gowanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16177546025053066514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-19100602006315425702011-05-09T13:10:00.380-07:002011-05-09T13:10:00.380-07:00The drummers second name was Gowans, more famous f...The drummers second name was Gowans, more famous for being in a heavy metal oufit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-87701485147769479032011-02-18T13:02:22.731-08:002011-02-18T13:02:22.731-08:00Ah....fame at last!Ah....fame at last!andy sturrocknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-66704786643959700162010-07-14T11:24:15.874-07:002010-07-14T11:24:15.874-07:00remember it well drove band to edinburgh played as...remember it well drove band to edinburgh played ashtrays on track took brother mike to pub in leith walk stripper on.<br />went on to play gigs with mike andy sturrock and neil mitchell on drums great timesjim kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03638190380387373785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-86544232982110445392010-06-27T13:17:31.891-07:002010-06-27T13:17:31.891-07:00So different from the associates, much more rough ...So different from the associates, much more rough and ready.
