I didn't say he was from East Kilbride per say, I said his mum lived there. Honestly, ye'd make sh*te lawyers the lot o' yez.
Here's the quote...
"Jack Bruce is from East Kilbride (or at least his maw used to live next door to Joe MacIvor, a retired policeman who used to have a four track in his spare room)."
So there.
Re Tom Russell...Mr. R and his wife run a B&B next to Palacerigg Country Park in Cumbernauld. My mate stayed with them for a coupla months after he (my pal, not Mr R.) got chucked out by his wife. IIRC Mrs R. has a pottery business out there too. Me pal says they're a lovely couple and Tom spent a few minutes with him every day chatting about music.
