Ken Sweeney’s new radio documentary on the quintessential Glaswegian band.
Great to hear a nod of recognition to Mark Cagney – the man responsible for bringing them to the radio listening masses of Ireland, including a night-time day-dreaming girl in Donegal with a smuggled transistor radio under her pillow.
Includes some acoustic Walk Across the Rooftops. Rejoice. Collapse. In equal measure.
Why did we ever come so far?
This band always reminds me of you.
Ach. I heard Ken Sweeney on with Dave Fanning yesterday morning. Fanatical can be annoying alright. Maybe that hampered their success hehe.
