I hated them as a lad, and still cringe at their music.

However, I hope that they make some decent money out of this. They were shafted (and I choose that word on purpose :cb) by Paton and others, and should have been much better-off than they are.

Should have made fortunes. Any reason why the other Longmuir brother isnt involved in the reunion?

Maybe persona non-grata?

Fame & Fortune? At least they got one of the two.
Much, much more than a lot of more talented people ever managed to achieve.

I thought Bilbo Baggins were better. They were also managed by Paton but told him to eff off if he tried it on. They played a sort of stomp rock.

In those days, I'd do anything to pull the burds.

Actually, ignore the first three words. ....[emoji6]

Ah, one hit wonders without the hit lol.

I think they did have one record that fleetingly made the charts.

One of them went out with the air hostess that lived next door to me at the time. She was nice!
