' Dave ' Ravers ' Maclennan was enjoying a
bottle of Cresta in between sets at what was
to be the Diamond Dogs last appearance at
the Bac Community Centre. suddenly a man
appeared on a flaming peatstack and said '
from now on you shall be The Meantime with
an ' A '.
before Ravers could ask him how the hell
else you would spell Meantime he was gone -
and this is how the story began. '
Extract from ' Sh**e ' the authorised
biography of The Meantime by Hundhar Dabhis
whilst the Gazette and the Free Press are
involved in a tussle over serialisation
rights you can read a further exclusive
extract from the biog, describing the band's
demise, by following the Utter Cac Demos
link on the Live at the Cross Inn.

Isnt it frightening what the passage of time
can do to a resting actorrr's memory? I had
no recollection at all at all of the Utter
Cac demos. It was only the haunting "I will
return when the fields are full of cows"
that brought it all back into the stark
white light of my incisive thespian "mind".
I am considering a part in a major West Side
play about cows and I believe this recording
could be a very useful research tool, so how
about a sound clip? Or better still, a copy
of the whole classic, life changing session?

a copy will be winging its way to you this
week along with latest tape of demos.
it may be more useful if you were
researching a part in Trainspotting as it
will make you hurl.
by the way thesp, what would the Lewis
equivalent of the Oscars be ?
the Ossians ?
any other ideas?

Flicking hengoes, what are you asking yon
gink Thesp about award ceremonies for, he'd
be outside parking Tractors, obviously the
ones with trailers attcahed and the sh*t
scraped off would be for the Celebs such as
Sandy Matheson and Chon Morrison and his
comedy kid on Western Isles accent.
If they were to take place they probaly be
called The Marag's, but where to have the
ceremony, The Crofters or The Whalers?
As for the Utter Cac demo's don't you know
it's an offence to send dodgy material
through the post, chust ask Tonalda who
regularly recieves the Peoples
Friend......it's not right you know!!

given that the Oscars were named after
someones Uncle Oscar they should probably be
named the Ethans in tribute to Eyeeeeeballs.
