threeornothing Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I was going to say, if theres any recordings then it would need to be on record, it wasn't like today where bands could just jump into Captain Ziggy's Groovey Tomhut and churn out a 1hour demo for 15.... most bands were likely cover bands and those that dared to try something original probably never owned instruments, let alone a Revox and Unidyne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britheguy Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Puns aside, this has been a real insight. I think i'm gonna try and track down a rep for johnny & the copycats / my dear watson and have a chatI think Johnny from the copycats has a butchers shop in Banff on the main street. I could be wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i'm gonna try and track down a rep for johnny & the copycats / my dear watson and have a chatAny update on this? I'd definitely be interested in a compilation of the 60s Aberdeen scene.

chilli Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Me too......I can imagine it selling well to all age groups.The Kitchen Cynics were around in the late 60's, the 70's, the 80's 90's the 00's& last night were awesome. Like fine Bordeaux wine that lad, just gets better with age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 *blushing*Many thanks for that, Chilli......but I didn't start playing live til well into my dotage (after 2000). I must admit I was a tiny bit miffed not to get a mention in 'Fit like New York' for my recording efforts though (which began in the mid 70s).If an appeal went out in the press, local forums etc I can imagine a few hidden gems of recordings from Aberdeen bands of the 60s being dug up. A 3 disc set of 60s, 70s & 80s might be an intriguing thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
