The Gigs Thread

[57vintage]

I'm a Johnny come lately to Chuck Prophet...

I've checked CP's solo stuff a wee bit in the run up and I'm liking what I've heard (hinna checked any Green on Red though, his solo gear only).

I have a goodly number of Green On Red vinyl records, but never made the connection, since the names of Green On Red members are unknown to me.

I know his solo song Ford Econoline

because that’s in the dep band’s set.

At a hurriedly-arranged song run-through the night before a gig with them, I turned up, having assumed that it was the Nanci Griffith song of the same name,

which I’m happy to busk my way through. Could have been dodgy on the night of the show, like.

I had a pee next to him in the 13th Note. Didn’t seem the best of places to strike up a conversation. Also had a pee next to Dougie Donnelly on the Ardrossan ferry. Top that

Had a slash next to Richard Gough at Chambre 69 in Glasgow a few years back at a Primal Scream after show party.
I was bingoed out my nut so immediately engaged in chat and told him i was a dons fan at which he looked a bit worried. Assured him i wasnt a mentalist and had a wee chat about centre halfs and his time at yinited and Scotland then persuaded him to come to my table to meet my pals. A table of 10 reds, bingoed out their nuts..”look who i bumped into in the bogs.” 😆 Got a couple of good photos of it, abdys eyes popping oot their heids including his.

Gough does have a reputation for hanging around toilets, allegedly.

I thought that it was a whistler called McGinley, allegedly...or was it allegedly or did he actually get prosecuted

Funnily enough, I’ve also met Richard Gough & have a different experience. We honestly couldn’t get rid of him. Even my Hun friend thought he was a bit of a weirdo. I broke my nose leaving his company

Only two celebish close proximity slashes I've had was Charlie Nicholas (Marine Hotel Stoney, what, 88ish?) and Fish formerly of Marillion (Easter Road prawn sandwich/corporate job round about 97, Dodds and Windass up front, Darren Jackson was playing for the Cabbage).

Had a blether with each of them, nice blokes.

Alex Ferguson gave me a lift hame fae the railway station one Sunday in 1979, the day after we’d drawn 2-2 at Love Street (Stark and McDougall scored, but nae for us) and I had shared a railway carriage with Cathy and the loons from Queen Street to Aberdeen.

I had a toilet experience with Amy Johnson ( lindyhop) in the Blue Lamp bogs.

I said "nah nah quine",she said " ooooh it's the gents"

Hardly romance of the century.


I got a run back to my hostel in Amsterdam once by Ian Dury if that's any better.

No romance there either I'm happy to say.

I had a date with a woman in the fashion industry who told me Ian Dury's preference was for women who looked like young gentleman...short hair, nae boobs, that sort of thing
