you want to share? Were
you at any gigs at the
Silver Thread, the
Bungalow Bar, Paris,
Windys? Did your band
play at any of these or
other Paisley venues?
Has your band reformed,
do you have upcoming

OK, apologies for the delay in the latest site update but things have been busy! The good news is
that I've just been sent a lot of great material by Neily and Mike. Neily was at most of the early
Silver Thread and Bungalow Bar gigs and who luckily kept a lot of tickets, signed posters, and
even written recollections of the gigs! Mike can be found at Inflammable Material and sent in a lot
of great info on the early Paisley bands. I've added some to the site at the following links (be sure
to check the Sex Pistols one) but there's a lot more to go including Generation X, the
Buzzcocks, Slaughter and the Dogs, Chelsea etc. Updated links are in white text!
Rare recordings,
fanzines etc.
