Yes, they're one of my favourite bands too.

I saw them first time in May 1988, the supporting bands were My Bloody Valentine and Lush.

In March 1989 The Vaselines supported them in Manchester gig.

Awww...it's one of the perks living in Glasgow.

I owe many ex-members of official Japanese Smiths FC who guided me to good British indie music at that time.

Thank you very much for the invitation.
Yes, I haven't been to Scotland almost 20 years, last time I was in Edinburgh a day before Morrissey's Wolverhampton gig.

I have a friend who works in Edinburgh, perhaps plan to visit there too.

Keep my fingers crossed for tomorrow's Euro Million draw.

I love what I've heard of them but I've sadly never had a chance to listen to a full album. Any recommendations for a newish listener?

nothing to be done is my favourite ... "take me hand and take my heart i shiver when your near" , lovely stuff

[Very Moz]

love them, listening to "Leaving this island" right now
I think I read somewhere they reformed these year and played in Glasgow opening for Jesus & M.C , or it was just a dream?
