FOREIGNERS LEGION

One evening in Foreigners, the bar staff had a wee raffle and were giving away albums, t-shirts and other bits & pieces. Well, I ended up winning a signed original Roger Kettle cartoon. One of his Beau Peep strips. I've held onto it since and here it is above.

FOREIGNERS IN MEADOWSIDE

Foreigners in Meadowside cropped up on the scene around 1980ish and became a bit of a regular on my drinking circuit.
Usually choc-a-block Fridays/Saturdays, it had blaring music which was a big attraction to us youthful types, even if it was mostly rock music which of course meant it wasn't always the most up to date sounds being served up - but one thing it always had going for it was a good young vibe in the place.
Keeping the rock theme going, I remember once, Phil Lynott stopped off to have a drink there before the Thin Lizzy gig at the Caird Hall..!!
Adding to the fun was the pub decor, the walls being absolutely covered in cartoons - all framed originals, the work of Roger Kettle of Beau Peep fame.
