    Default Found this while surfing - Opium Trail

    Maybe some of you already know about this site, I found it by accident and it is fascinating, its the website of a former 60's beat band from Thurso, check the picture on the front page, looks like Old St.Peters Kirk in Thurso. There is a video on the site of them playing in the Town Hall, a great biography and also mp3 audio files of their old practice tapes. I had a great time reading all this. Maybe some of the older members on here could tell some stories about this band.

    If you haven't read the Highland Archive it is quite informative of the early years of music in Caithness - Northlands Rock - http://www.internet-promotions.co.uk/archives/

    Not sure if I have linked you to this before - sorry if you've read it.

    Hey thanks for that, I'll have a deek, any kind of music history is fascinating to me. Cheers

    I came across that site myself, a number of months ago. Although they were several years older than me, I do recognise a couple of the band members, and their names. Gleber2 would be the guy who could tell you more about Opium Trail and other Thurso bands of that era.
    I am living for today, always remembering yesterday, and looking forward to tomorrow!
