Was wondering why he was in Glasgow; this explains it. I'm on loads of distribution lists for publications of a certain left-leaning persuasion, and not a toot about this from any of them. Probably because they didn't arrange it; which sums up the fragmentation of left wing politics in Scotland.

 

Also thought that the friend of the forum, Troy De Nero (real guy, superb recording artist with a cult following growing by the day) might have heard about this and been in touch. But naw; too busy writing his Christmas single: "All I want for Christmas is a pair of Archie's underpants." Although to be fair, his song, or maybe it was a line from a song "the Maryhill rain can't take away my pain" still leaves me with goosebumps when walking down the aforementioned road when we've just been stuffed. It persists and we're getting old but still making the journey to the shrine. I might kid the guy on, but in years to come he'll be discovered... Glasgow's own Nick Drake; or even Charlie Drake!
