Scottish Compassion !!
Bono, the lead signer of the band U2 is famous throughout the entertainment industry for being more than just a little self-righteous.
He is playing a U2 concert in Glasgow, Scotland when he asks the audience for total quiet.
Then in the silence, he starts to slowly clap his hands, once every few seconds.
Holding the audience in total silence, he says into the microphone, "Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies."
A voice with a broad Scottish accent, from near the front of the crowd, pierces the silence...
"Well, fuc*ing stop doin' it then!"

If Dave was to use a Hammond L100 for just one more gig I'd die content.

Goes without saying - GLASGOW ! As quoted in Strangled in 1985, "Glasgow is the centre of Stranglemania". Always has been, always will be. The bands gigs @ the old Glasgow Apollo are the stuff of legend (I'm sounding a bit Peter Ustinov now - sorry).PaulinLondon wrote:A question regarding The Stranglers Scottish fan base :
More concentrated in Glasgow or in Edinburgh over the years ? Always wanted to ask.
