@CallumFT @brucerisk @FriendsAgain2 @jamthrawn so basically speaking, if your name is Chris Thomson, you're almost guaranteed to be a pretty good musician then 😃

The first band I managed ...Edinburgh's very cool Café Jacques. A couple of interesting facts,(apart from the fact they were fab), Mike Ogletree on drums and backing vocals worked in Bruce's Record Shop and the 'waiter' on the cover..is me! youtu.be/GM7BHOeEDvI?si… @StevoMusicMan

The Bathers will be performing selected songs from their classic Pandemonia album at the Strathaven Hotel on Friday 5th June. This will be a unique show by the group, made even more special by an opening support appearance by Constant Follower. Tickets: wegottickets.com/f/16721

'A lot of young bands in Glasgow were inspired by the success of Simple Minds, Altered Images and Orange Juice ... including us' – here's a clip of James Grant @jamthrawn talking about the early years of @FriendsAgain2 on this week's Scotpop podcast (link to show in comments)
