Default The Least Talked-About Band in Aberdeen

I was chatting to Cavern Mike a couple of days ago, and he reckoned his band, the Downroads are Aberdeen's least talked about. I reckon they're ace, producing a fine driving blend of Freakbeat and Psych.

Where else can you see the legendary (no joking...he's in tons of books) Lenny Helsing on drums, Jim Wilkie on guitar (Grampian TV made a prog about him), steady-as-a-rock Andy Bass on bass and the plague of locusts man himself, Mike Napier on guitar????

Next time you're in the Cavern tell Mike you've talked about the Downroads......he'll be so shocked he might give you discount!!!!!!!

Well the first thing to do is to talk about your band yourself.

Well, if you know Mike, you'll know he's a shy and retiring person, not given to fits of self-publicity!!

I first saw them at the old Drakes (think it might've been their debut, but not totally sure!)
Should see you there, Mr Sultan
