lmao, he was right as wellOriginally Posted by Suspects
Aye cullbucket, both Home & Beyond (not Away - purlease!) and You, Me & a Drum Machine's line up included Craig Mackay, and both were electronic - well the former in it's last guise anyway.
H&B suffered the untimely death of Raymond Reid (guitar) and, after a short break, Craig drafted in some prat (before anyone else gets in there!) by the name of Robin Clarke on a 2nd set of keyboards to fill the void. Although very few gigs were played with this lineup (drummer Duncan McLachlan & lead singer Stuart 'I'll set up the mic & that's me done ' McGregor being the other members), the first one at the Weigh Inn was a very emotionally charged night.
Craig & Stuart both left for 'e sooth but, on the odd occasion they were back in the vicinity, played as electronic duo You, Me & a Drum Machine.
On two occasions Stuart & Robin played in Stevie's Bar (where Elizabeth's is now - next to Skinandis) under the name 'Call Us What You Like', but the less said about that the better!
A while later, with Stuart back sooth, Frame materialised with Duncan & Robin being joined by lead vocalist/backing keyboardist Jamie Robson and played around the county for a few years before Robin packed in all that malarkey!
BTW at around the same time Duncan was also involved with a stompin' outfit by the name of Roadworks...
Robin Clarke - is that Matt Clarke's (Mattie Pie, Spews, Mooncat) cousin?
In mitigation Mr Bruce de Wert said his client had been drinking and could remember little of the incident.
