The Meantime (not the
Ceilidh band) -
Renegade mid-late
period Meantime
member Roddy
Huggan's
unauthorised website
documenting the
history of Gress's
very own 80s stadium
megaband The
Meantime. More
Honesty Passion and
Integrity than U2,
Big Country and The
Alarm put together.
Agus Ministear air
na drumaichean
cuideachd (an t-Urramach
Coinneach Stiubhart).
See also Roddy's
Blogsite on
Myspace, which will
undoubtedly lead
to a confusing array
of other free
webpages that he's
set up. |

Hounded out
of Matheson Road by
the forces of taste
and
decency, fugitive
Tape Records mogul
and AGOFR impresario
CJMitchell
(76) is up to his
sinister tricks
again in
Chicago, specializing
in "ambient" and
"improvisational"
acts with his new
record label
False Walls.
Visit the False
Walls website and
see if he's talking
up another lot of
useless amadans with
kazoos and waste
paper bins.
You'd think all them
gangsters over there
would know another
one when they saw
him.

Hebridean Celtic
Festival -
Not a
sectarian/football
related event,
but a music festival
that takes
place every July and
is big draw for
strange
beardy folkie people
from away. Little
concession is made
to genuinely
indigenous musical
forms,
primarily because
nobody would turn up
if there was. Van
Morrison, the
Waterboys, The
Sawdoctors,
Capercaillie etc
have all appeared in
recent years. And a
Mongolian throat
singer.
It is very
unlikely that the Guireans
would ever be asked
to play at this
event.

The legitimate
Meantime site.
Witness the
transformation of the earnest
80s Gress stadium
rockers into the
hyperscorp non-rockist
ethnic ceilidh
outfit that they are
now. And you can buy
their CD as well. I
notice David's got
"Air an Oidhche" on
there and didn't I
give him a middle
part for it? So I'll
be looking for a
slice of the
royalties...

Cadaverous thespian
Roddy "The Actorrr"
Morrison's
self-promoting website,
in which he appropriates
The Guireans' £4 Polish
Guitar recollections and
empathises with thon
tree on the Achmore
Road.
Like every other
Guirean under the
sun, the Actorrr's also
got a myspace blogsite,
under the alias of his
dodgy 80s pop guise "Some
Random Guy". New
Order, The Psychedelic
Furs, Killing Joke and
Roddy Huggan all get
ripped off shamelessly |
