Hi Davie. As far as I recall Rab was called 'Hairy Dan' because he was a skin, well that was the reason as far as we knew anyway. I have not seen him since about 1983 or something when he used to go around with the Pollok team. And John is Stevie Binghams brother.

John Bingham - is that Stevies brother?

Chris, i don't think its the same rab "hairy dan" smith - i'm sure he passed my house a couple months ago on his scoot. Ive been tryin to track him down to get in touch again when i saw him drive by - never got time to shout he went by that fast. Why was he called hairy dan? I kept askin him years ago but he wouldnt tell me?
Last i saw him was at Peds funeral but never got a contact number fae him.

Hi soulkitchen. The photo's sound the biz. I'm sure one of the guys such as Jimmy, Charlie, or Stevie would be grateful to be sent them in order to put them on the site.

I know (or knew) some of the people you are referring to. I knew Ped Burns, although I have not seen him for a long time. The same applies to wee Johnny Bingham, who I knew fairly well from the Scene and Lindella. Is the Rad Smith you are referring to wee Ped's brother Hairy Dan ?

No article please, and as a trade the two other group members were Geraldine McCabe and Sharon McKinstry, later Sharon Valente - Sharon would definately have been on lead vocals!

No, we had agreed to your south side penthouse Mr G. It is far closer to the venue, and you also have all those amazing classic vinyls that we are keen to hear. But don't buy in any more than a dozen cans of Murphy's for me; i'm taking it easy that night.

Kate I've just saw some photos of you singing on a stage with a few others. Where youse the Glasgow Mods version of The Supremes can you guess who your two female sidekicks were ? I suppose I could write an article and post them haha

Stephen

As usual you are not too far off the mark and it in a round about way involves Paisley girls and the scary thought of them paying for their own drinks...

Hope that will suffice and you can dispose of any further offending photos!

Kate,

What was your scary experience in the One Up? You must reveal all!

Did Livy try to show you his rat? Did Charlie get out his Freddy & the Dreamers LP? Did somebody ask a Paisley girl to pay for her own drink?

Maybe if you tell us all NG Mod will loose these pictures of you...

I seem to be well mentioned in this section, anyway if you check out Davy and Audrey photos, you will see me sitting at a table with a pint. Not sure who bought it though !

Will we be starting the nights festivities in your house Chris, I suppose it could be a sort of house warming party.

Hi Jackie - I knew/know the girl in photos 93, 95, 96 & 101. Her name is Diane Roberton and she is from Paisley - not sure how well you know her? We grew up in the highflats together until about age 12. Although Diane was a couple of years older we were all Mods in Paisley from about age 13 and used to go to StJohns, Wallneuk and Gallowhill Community club nights. she took my best friend and i to the One Up (think we weren't quite of age to go), but we had a bit of a scary experience and didn't go back! Later when we were all more into the purely Northen thing she introduced us to Vamps and Hurricanes Bar. I hadn't seen her for about 20 years, but then like me she moved back to Paisley a couple of years ago. I met her again this year because she stays in the same street as my mum & dad and i walk there all the time with my little boy. She got married in the last couple of years and had a little boy of her own at the start of the year. I'll tell her to take a look at the photos when i next bump into her as she was very into the glasgow scene for so many years.
