Old school mates #'s 1, 2 & 3

My old school friend Alan Thomson pictured here with Albert Lee. Alan went on after the rather infamous (at least in our part of Glasgow) Arthur Trout Band to play bass with John Martyn for 25 years or so.
Another member of The Arthur Trout Band and old school friend who also played with John Martyn was Jim Prime, who I last saw was when he was out here in Australia with Deacon Blue many years ago.

You can read more about the The Arthur Trout Band and John Martyn from another old school friend here.
...and yes Mr. McGeachy could be a real khunt in real life a lot of the time back then. Was always amazed that he could write such sensitive songs to be honest...
Whatever did happen to John's cousin Dave Roy btw?
