I started this love affair when I heard N01 and have never looked back and was gutted when the band finished as I was not ready for the divorce. The Lyrics and sound just worked in my head and I grew with them on every album. I remember taking school days off when the LP arrived on my lap and just could not wait for the next one. Live Glasgow Apollo they were so so good Bob just took the stage but the band made the jigsaw between Pete and Gary running around the stage. I remember I was not allowed to go to the Loch Lomand gig and even today I give my Mum & Dad pelters as I was too young to camp and underage. I did find a few bands, as you cannot live on 1 band, but the Rats were always my favourite. When Bob went solo again loved every album and he seemed to get better by age which is such a hard ask. I remember going down south for a gig as he never had anything booked in Scotland at the time and shouted out PLAY Rose @ Night and after 3 songs he stopped and said I’ve not played that song for a while and he made my night & played it. Well that’s the story I want to stick to as it still lives with me.
