I’ve enjoyed it so much. I appreciate everyone’s loyalty and live for these songs. I just don’t do much social media because I don’t have that much to say. But I’m very grateful and get such a buss out of people enjoying the records.
Thank you ! X

We loved singles. I spent my Saturdays trawling the singles boxes in Impulse records. Punk and beyond was all about seven inches. Buzzcocks. Siouxsie. Magazine. Bunnymen. Teardrops. Adam Ant. 3 minutes or less. I wanted to be in that box!

For the solo, John Brand handed me this Spanish guitar he’d brought and said “make me cry! “ that’s true. I remember just improvising a solo in each take til we got a good one. Just me and John, in the dark late at night

Down the Dip
Written more as a gesture than a song. Just a way to end the album with a little intimacy. There was a pub called the Diplomat in East Kilbride so that must be where I got the idea

Winter
Was finding lots of nice chords for the first time and very into clean glacial tones. Roland Jazz chorus amp (60, nothing flash yet). Durutti column. Clean and wintry vibes. The opposite of bluesy valvey authenticity, I guess. Straight lines. String bending forbidden.

Bugle
Acoustic guitars attracted me because they were strictly taboo in our indie world. Apart from Paul Weller’s brave, beautiful English Rose, which I just loved, they were frowned on.

Written in East Kilbride. Remember the exact moment I was walking up my street and thought “I know… we need shouting!” Like the Fall. Rowche rumble kind of thing.

Lovely bass playing by Campbell on this. So young and genuine. You can hear it. Peter Hook and Barry Adamson redefined the bass guitar for me. Made it a lovely, mournful melodic instrument.

Back on board.
I think inspired by a scottish piper souvenir amazing grace lyric tea towel I had hanging up. Amazing words to that hymn of course. And Al Green Memphisy gtr licks

Release
Got Wes Montgomery’s “while we’re Young” from the local library. And found out all I could about him. He played with his thumb rather than a plectrum, so as not to disturb the neighbours.

Boy wonders. Folky intro with Dave giving a bodhran vibe on the toms - then a kind of “Clash on a 12 string” riff under the verses

Wow. Love to him. I’m so glad about that
I have lived and loved, listening to this album. Had my heart broken at got back up. Now my 17 yr old son is sitting here listening with me and he knows every chord., every solo note for note. Thanks

Love that gap
@daveruffy
Amazing memories. We worked long hours down there to try and capture a little magic. And then off to the seafront to breathe. Or rolling around town in johns car listening to Neil Young and seventies stuff. God knows what the neighbours thought.

I loved his sound. Big Gibson 175. But I wanted to get from late night jazz to a trashy punky ending inside one song. Linear build. No chorus.

Not many people got it at the time. You know, why would you want to do that? I suppose just because it’s who I was. What I was into. I felt like we couldn’t fit.

Almost. I pretended I was going to Tesco. Didn’t want to open a can of worms by mentioning the music biz. Haha. Loved Jenny Auld really. Great teacher
@RoddyFrame
Roddy, please settle this once and for all! Jenny Auld, our head of English at Duncanrig Secondary lecturing you because you told her you'd got a deal with Postcard, and were leaving school before your O-levels - apocryphal story or not?

Bernie Cark was a killer Hammond player. Brought dark magic to the sessions. So it didn’t get too saccharin

Haha! You know I never really heard it myself, Dave. I think Gary and I just liked the same records. We all wanted to make pop soul records. Lovely man Mr Kemp.
Back On Board, I believe a certain Blitz period band "borrowed" certain elements of this...fi true
