Anyone remember The Skids?

[malcolmposkettspockets]

Saw them last night at hometown of Dunfermline as part of the Fifer Festival & they were brilliant. Great version of 'TV Stars' updated to include Simon Cowel you're a w**ker; Cheryl Cole you are s**t; ALBERT TATLOCK! ALBERT TATLOCK!

Ears still ringing tonight.

Who's still in them then? Jobson went all pretentious-moi and is prob still an 'art critic' somewhere and Stuart Adamson is dead.

Jobson still singing (the festival was a celebration of him). He is now a film director and all his films were shown during the week. The original bass player, Bill Simpson and Mike Bailey on drums (he played on the 3rd album and is not the ex Albion manager) as the original drummer left after 1st album. The guitarists were Bruce Watson who was in Big Country with Stuart Adamson and his brother Jamie. Great clips on youtube.
