Hibs bands and music

[wearehibernian]

After seeing a couple music related posts of late I thought it might be interesting to hear about Hibees who play in bands. Or even songs that mention us? Will start with this classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3GD3e4A3X0

Braw are really good, guitarist is a big Hibby.

[hibby rae]

My brother is reading Bobby Gillespie's book and brought to my attention Robert 'Throb' Young from Primal Scream being a Hibby.

According to Gillespie, during the 70s he would constantly wear a Hibs purple away where ever he went. Bearing in mind this is in Glasgow as well, not Edinburgh.

Enjoying this. At the start I thought it was gonna be all folky but actually dead good. :wink:

The albums great. ‘Auld Grey Toon’ is a banger as is ‘The Tide’ and ‘Home From Home’

I didn't know that. I've just fallen a bit more for him. Such a talent, sadly missed.

Blue Rose Code, without doubt the best modern folk band of the moment. Ross Wilson is outstanding and a Hibby.

I'm sure I read that Shirley Manson's a Hibby. she was in the same class as my sister as well.

Louis from Admiral Fallow is a Hibby. Did Sunshine on Leith on a BBC New Year program too.

I like them a lot and Ross is a Leith boy and a Hibee.

This song is a beauty, it references Hibs and Leith. If you’ve never heard it, give it a listen.

Got to love the filters on here. It's Admiral Fallow performing Sunshine on Leith.

[superfurryhibby]

Dick Gaughan- grew up in Leith ( Graham St) and a Hibee through and through.

He did what I consider the definitive version of Erin go bragh.
It tells the tale of Gaelic speaking Man , from Argyll. He’s in Edinburgh, stopped by the Polis and given gyp. It ends in conflict and .....well, best just to listen.

Dick was interviewed by the Evening News years ago and spoke of his love for Leith and for the Hibees. I know he’s not well, but he got to see us lift the cup. In the interview he spoke of his wish that it would come to pass whilst he still drew breath.

He’s playing live, bloody hell, what a guitar player.

Love this song, tells the story of the Edinburgh Irish experience well, something that's often glossed over in coverage of sectarianism in Scotland in the media with it being framed as a west coast problem (understandably perhaps but certainly not confined to weegies). Saddened to hear Mr Gaughan is in poor health.

[Roxyhibee]

Used to very regularly see guitarist Malcolm Ross at Easter Road, even up to a few years ago.

Was originally in the Edinburgh band Josef K from my punk/post punk gigging days, then he played with Orange Juice and Aztec Camera. Think he also later worked with Knopfler (but then who hasn’t.!)

Was told by a mate a few years back that he set up a band or project called High Bees but I didn’t follow up on it.

I don’t do any social media apart from a bit Hibs.net, so wouldn’t know what he’s up to these days but hope the boy is still going strong.

[Iggy Pope]

Malcolm Ross of Josef K and Orange Juice is a good Hibby. His mid 80s project was given the name The High Bees. Think this was around about 1985

https://youtu.be/RdKZQe3Nad4

There were a few Hibs fans amongst the influential late 70s / early 80s Edinburgh post-punk bands like Josef K , Fire Engines, The Scars….

Edit. Just seen Roxy’s post on the matter!!

They kicked around for a while and did some gigs but only that one single on the YouTube clip.
Dave Ruffy of The Ruts played with them.
Malcolm also did a bit with Dave Henderson in Nectarine No 9.

Memory of Dick ,who i first met around 1981.
Labour had won overall control of Edinburgh Council for the first time in 1982.

Dick got on to the ramparts of the City Chambers and belted out The Internationale and other assorted Socialist songs.
The passing tourists and locals were stunned.
Great Day. Good man and wonderful singer and musician .

Did he used to run a club in the basement of the former church at the foot of Broughton St? Seem to remember he had a connection to Finlay Quaye (also a Hibs fan?).

Ahh, never seen this before cheers. There was a band that used to play locally around then whose drummer used to wear a Hibs top. Can’t recall who they were though but they seemed very local and not one of the aforementioned Postcard or Zoom icons.

Those were the greatest of times, getting in early to The Tap O Lauriston and nabbing one of the bottom booths beside the jukebox when it was just a pub and before it became an actual gig venue. There was usually a Rezillo, Fire Engine, Scar, Josef hanging about - even saw The Mekons all sitting there before one of their gigs. An abundance of exciting bands and cheap gigs in those days.

[He's here!]

A guy called Marty Waugh (any relation to Kenny?) released a CD single called the Famous Five circa 20 years ago.

There was also a CD which used to get played on repeat in the Cabbage and Ribs featuring a load of Hibs-related songs. Glory Glory to the Hibees, Turnbull's Tornadoes, Hibernian Give Us A Goal, Sunshine on Leith and the 80s Colin Chisholm Hibs Heroes single (When I was five my daddy took me down to Easter Road etc...) were on it, but the others were attributed mostly to artists I know nothing about. I suspect most were a one-off:

Cabbage and Ribs: The Peristalsis Brothers
Sea of Green: Green Party
Hibees Hibernian Let's Go: Kirsty Baird
Independence: Victory
We are the Hibees: Colin Morrison
Hibee Family: The Jimmy Boco Experience
Glory Glory: The Hibee Quartet

I'm sure that most of Ballboy are Hibbies.

[ErinGoBraghHFC]

Retro video club are hibees as well, done a cover of Hibs heroes on a view from the terrace a wee while ago

[hibby rae]

Ballboy is essentially Gordon McIntyre, and he is a life-long Hibby. He once gave John Peel a Hibs top.

The Jimmy Boco Experience is my friend Steven Fraser, known as Socket.
Socket fronted a band in the late eighties called Moon and at the time of the Hands off Hibs campaign he recorded the Hands off Hibs single “Hands off Hibernian, hands off the Hibs”

[Hiber-nation]

Ballboy is essentially Gordon McIntyre, and he is a life-long Hibby. He once gave John Peel a Hibs top.

Cheers, used to like them but didn't know much about them/him other then the Hibs connection. A Relatively Famous Victory is superb.

[Mick O'Rourke]

Being an oldie,i dont recognise some of the bands mentioned.
However, it would appear that over the years,as well as having some talented and creative players ,we have also had some talented and creative musicians and singers supporting us.



I can understand why Stranraer like so lowly.
They could save a lot of points by signing Hibs goalie !

Can just remember Josef K and The Fire Engines from my younger years. My mates big brother was into them. Later on the Finitribe surfaced on the back of that to become one the most influential industrial bands in my era then became house music royalty.

Not sure if they are hibees but the dark jokes featured on a hibs promotional video during the Stubbs era. The song was called holding on, could t actually find their music online so ended up buying a signed LP! Pretty decent

Was never a Marillion fan tho a fair few at school were and I remember them saying Fish had worn a Hibs shirt at a gig.

On the subject of bands wearing football shirts I remember being at Stiff Little Fingers gig at the Barrowlands when they reformed for some Christmas gigs circa 1987. One of the band was wearing a Celtic shirt and another a Rangers shirt which was interesting.

[Roxyhibee]

The music scene was almost ridiculously vibrant in those days too - I’m afraid me and my mates took so much of it for granted. We still lament some of the great bands and support bands we missed because we were too drunk to leave the pub thinking we’ll catch them next time. Old man hindsight against raw 1977 youth I suppose.

When I saw them at Barrowlands in the early 90s they did that for the encore with Jake wearing a Scotland shirt as well.

The Rejects used to wear West Ham shirts and the ToTP appearance doing Bubbles is brilliant. The documentary about them "East End Babylon" is brilliant and has a bit about the battle of Birmingham.

Not sure as he doesn’t play in our game of 7s. Think the other member is a Jambo but only loosely as not really a big football fan outside of playing. Hadn’t realised the other guy that plays left the band, but he’s an Ayr United fan for what it’s worth while I’m giving the We Were Promised Jet Packs biography.

Nah it was defo Jetpacks I was thinking of.

I knew Scott Hutchison in passing, and while he did record The Hearts Song for charity, he told me one night he had zero interest in them or football in general. His brother Grant, the drummer, is a Jambo though, on account of their grandad having been one.

Jo Malik is certainly one of the coolest Hibs supporting musical artists.

Below was taken from 'The List':

...Leith’s Bum-Clocks are the only Robert Burns tribute band who play in the style of Iggy and the Stooges. If that sounds too high-concept for you, a glance over those involved mean they demand a listen. The Bum-Clocks – ye olde Scottish name for a beetle, making them the Scottish Beatles – are Tam Dean Burn (actor), his brother Russell (Fire Engines’ drummer) and Malcolm Ross, sometime guitarist with Josef K, Orange Juice and Aztec Camera. Could they be Leith’s first ever supergroup? ...

Not forgetting Coco Whitson on bass ( a recent addition to the band), the whole band are all die-hard Hibs supporters.

Always count on big Coco for some storming bass lines!

I wonder, do they have a Burns night gig planned anywhere?

Coco was a notable Gin Goblin and still gigs with Boots For Dancing of course and has worked with another hHibby Paul Research of The Scars.

There was also Norbert Bassbin of the brilliant Twisted Nerve, “Mint Sauce for the Masses” fame.

May as well get a shameless plug in for my band Gutterblood as we have our CD out soon.:wink: If you like it a bit heavier with a range of styles, including some spoken work/social/political content from Hibees Jim@Helping Hands and Bonnie Prince Bob. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHwDBqnrxC4&t=1205s
