Scared To Dance must be the most criminally under-rated album from the whole punk scene. For me, it's comfortably in my Top 20 favourite albums of all time. Richard Jobson is a legend, as was the late, great Stuart Adamson - a punk/post-punk songwriting partnership up there with the likes of Strummer/Jones. I saw them back in 1978 when they toured as support for The Stranglers and they absolutely knocked it out of the park - still up there for me as one of the best gigs I've ever seen. PS - great interview! 👍

I knew Richard a bit in London in 1980/81 latter days of the Skids. He hasn't really changed. Only 19/20 at the time he was living the dream of being a pop star Top of the Pops guy but was really himself. He always felt like a guy that could handle himself if needed to. My judgement is I have positive memories of him, so he left an impression on me. i wish him well.

It's not often that Alex Harvey gets a name drop, so hat doffed to that. I spent a couple of years working at Pitreavie Castle, my uncle worked doon the pits (under the watter ie Forth) and I spent a year living in High Valleyfield before moving to my own place in Rosyth. Long long ago, but this interview reminds me of the good times had.

Brilliant, great interview. What he says about speaking to the fans after the gig is true, Stuart Adamson used to come out to Dalkeith for a beer with us back in the day 😎🏴
