sonofoi Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 And I thought something interesting had happened Madness playing in Montrose is maybe mildly more intetesting than average goings on in Montrose unless Im missing a hotbed of scandal & dodgy goings on there!

Toepoke Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 At least they won't have had too much difficulty digging out retro gear for the gig... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDange Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Haha not the subject I was expecting. I thought this thread was another edition of Taysiders Gone Wild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flora MaDonald Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I take it Suggs (Graeme MacPherson) is of Scottish origin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pool Q Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) I take it Suggs (Graeme MacPherson) is of Scottish origin? He is. I think I read an interview once that he used to get bullied at school in London due to his name, and that taking the name Suggs had something to do with avoiding it. I've had a couple of drunken chats with him at the French House pub In London, he seemed a nice bloke. Edited July 6, 2015 by Pool Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Endell Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) I take it Suggs (Graeme MacPherson) is of Scottish origin?He's a 'Graham'. His father was Scottish, but abandoned Suggs and his mother when Suggs was just a nipper.I think his father might have been a Highlander as I recall Suggs saying he particularly enjoys visiting the Highlands as he feels a connection with his father there.

Flora MaDonald Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 He's a 'Graham'. His father was Scottish, but abandoned Suggs and his mother when Suggs was just a nipper. You sure about that? Phuqq him then - I always thought he was a 'Graeme'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auchinyell Sox Change Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 He is. I think I read an interview once that he used to get bullied at school in London due to his name, and that taking the name Suggs had something to do with avoiding it. I've had a couple of drunken chats with him at the French House pub In London, he seemed a nice bloke.Used to frequent French houseStill full of luvvies and half pints ? Home of free French during ww2 De Hems was our meeting place ( before mobile phones.....)

popkean1314foreva Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) Saw them on Saturday night at Carlisle racecourse , Madness were much more entertaining and much less costly than my attempts to pick any winners !

peever1745 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Fantastic gig once again Montrose music festival committee has done the town proud.

Kittymeister Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Mike Barson the keyboard player was born in Edinburgh. He is Mrs Meister's Dad's Cousin's Son. A Scottish connection there if anybody is looking for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his father might have been a Highlander as I recall Suggs saying he particularly enjoys visiting the Highlands as he feels a connection with his father there. Pretty sure I read he has no idea about what happened to his dad or his McPherson relatives. Quite sad really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
