Hi, I'm new here (but no spring chicken!) In the mid 70s I played in a band caled Pryer - basically heavy metal covers. We played round the usual venues, the Treetops Hotel, Beach, Aberdeen Uni and RGIT plus much further afield, RAF Lossie, Banff Springs hotel, Strathpeffer, Golspie (always a favourite that one), Clark Inn Peterhead and even as far south as Nicky Tamms in Edinburgh. Our main claim to fame (?) was our lead guitarist Niall Matthewson who's still going strong with Pallas. I saw them a couple of years back in the Lemon Tree sounding as good as ever. Another band around at that time was The Squibs that featured the amazing Dave Baird on bass. I was born and brought up in Aberdeen and left in 1977 to follow an engineering career. I've lived in Edinburgh for the last 29 years but don't get back to Aberdeen very much. I did play in a band called The Runners based in Edinburgh in the mid 80s and still jam with friends now and again and maybe someday I'll get back gigging again. 8-)
