80s & 90s forgotten classics.

We = Scots
Them = the b'astardin english
Our = Scots again

Gotcha. So not:
- We = beyond the Central Belt
- Them = Central Belt-serving Edinburgh government
- Our = see ‘We’ (above - genitive case)

The Russian doll principle would apply here, I think.

RT is magnificent full stop. There is not an LP, Song, or Gig I've not loved. I just stuck Vincent up for the non- initiated, And what a guitarist whether on the Lowden or Strat. Talking of Guitarists have you heard Kris Drever ? " current ‘band’" Do tell.

I saw Kris play with Lau ar Cambridge Folk Festival in 2006. We got drunk with Stuart, the box player, in a beer tent afterwards. Great lad. I telt him that his onstage contortions widna have been out of place in Status Quo.

I’m nae really big on contemporary folk. I like Emily Smith, Reg Meuross, Jackie Oates, Robb Johnston, The Unthanks etc. I’m a blues and soul man really but should listen to much mair of that type of thing.

Current band will probably play locally next year, maybe a support slot or two before the end of this year. Probably all covers. Early RNR, a bit of Americana and blues. Good players, and no egos.

EDIT: both Richard and Teddy played at Cambridge that year.

Aye, could do. I need a word with Lewis about that Lampie article, so it’s a double dunter possibility.

[donsdaft]

Perfect
I haven't seen Lewis for a while.

Kris Drever ... wonderful talent Ah've had the pleasure o' jammin' wi' ... significance for me of course is the fact his father, Ivan Drever, best known as frontman of Wolfstone ... a band I loved enormously until I had the misfortune of being with a support band still soundchecking as the audience were arriving at the Music Hall ... on account of my 'heroes' soundchecking for a period of time exceeding their fkn gig!

Still tho, if ye want to gauge the skills of Ivan D, get yer hand on pre Wolfstone albums by 'Knowe o' Deil' ... Orkney based band ... best as a duo tho ... and you will get the measure o' Ivan's skills on guitar and ither 'taught strings' ... which will gie ye a wee clue as tae why Kris is so fkn good

Ivan is a good pal of mine from way back Sat afternoon sessions in Kirkwall, Loved Knowe O Deil stuff and still think Orkney Anthem is one of the best songs ever written, I was greatly saddened by the death of Coop few years back. I first saw Kris when he was 14 playing with a guy called Gavin Firth (the chair) at Stromness harbour during the 90s Orkney Folk Fest. And later on at a pals hoose when he picked up my Bouzouki and blew me away. Was at the Music Hall when Wolfstone recorded their live DVD. I'm told there was a wee party down at the Duthie park afterwards Haven't seen Ivan in a while lockdown inat but sure to catch up wi him and Linda soon.

As far as "pop" bands go they are mostly shyte, But have to say this is more than a pop band, A great band even.
