Were any of you fans of Ricky Ross' sextet or did you wish his wife Lorraine McIntosh was better off as a TV actress (River City, Taggart, etc)?

:lol: Have you ever seen River City, what a load of bollocks :lol: . I really rated them in the music era of Wattertwat at least they sang some great tunes. Real gone kid is an excellent pop song as is Dignity, Wages day, Fergus sings the blues, Chocolate girl etc, I have their greatest hits and like all of them.

thought they were rather drab and boring tbh. proto coldplay in their 'technical ability' 'arnt we cool' type way.

Another one of those horror's my Dad used to play a lot when I was a nipper! Really don't like them!

A really horrible crew producing some really bland and insipid music. Really disliked them.
