“Thanks for that,not seen it for over twenty years.I was the drummer.We formed another band after that called Scarlet Town and added another guitarist.we all thought the music was good and had interest,but the music business was harsher in those days( i think).”
“i allways preferd SLR...i even did a couple of gigs with them standing in for the poor mans rod stewart...otherwise known as wilf.....i think i still have the flyers for said gigs which were a reunion for the band minus wilf...think the year was 91.”
“Hi mate ... Did Scarlet Town rehearse at out of the blue? ..If so i was in the band that used to rehearse next door to you ..really liked what you did and came to see you at the boardwalk .. you all look familiar on the vid .. Dave”
“Yea defo good times !! ...Seem to remember u guys on the bar football game a lot, it was right outside our rehearsal room ...i posted some pics on here of the studio .. recorded in there twice, once with Nic G and once with Ged .. proper great results ..happy times mate”
“You have a good memory ,we were always on that table,probably should have concentrated on the music a bit more.I stopped playing for about fifteen years but started again last year.Check out Randolph swain and the red lights and see what you think.,bit quirky though.What was your band called?”
“We were called sense of purpose (shit name) ..i was the guitarist we split up and i ended up in the Rainkings .. i dont play guitar anymore, but have a small studio at home and make dance music (just a hobby really) ..will defo check u out ..good to see u are still doing it ..i just dont really have the time these days but miss being part of a band and doing music (nowt beats it!)”
“Hey Craig...What a blast from the past!!! I was at the gig in the video! We supported Syncopation tons of times...I was the bass player in Option with Boz, Jimmy Livvy and Paul Ashton. Cheers...Chris.”
“That would be great...but I don't get to MCR much these days...I live in Austin, TX...been here for 17 years now! Remember those days very well though...John Barrett, Facsimile Liasons, the record peddler, the mystery gig at the Gaetano, that crappy rehearsal room we shared with you guys next to Broughton baths...great days for sure!”
“By the way...I was searching through some old vinyl records at a shop in downtown Austin (End of an Ear) only a couple of weeks ago and came across an old Easterhouse album with Gary on it!!!!!! It's a small world!!!!”
