This is the place where we will post your stories about the Green's Playhouse, The Glasgow Apollo and Satelitte City (The Wee Apollo). As it develops we will break the stories up into sections such as Myths, Gigs I missed, Meeting the Bands, Where are they now etc. No story too trivial and we will only edit out bad language!
New Forum structure on Apollomemories soon.

| It was 30th Oct '82 by the backstage door waiting for the band to perhaps get some
autographs.It was pishing rain and we were under the alcove by the door drinking our
carry oot freezing to death.The band shows up and not only signs autographs for us
but cos of the conditions invites us inside and let us sit up in the box seats off
the stage while they performed their soundcheck. Here we are in the box seats
drinking and watching Brian Tatler playing "Am I Evil" riffs and asking us
how it sounded - they were a cool bunch of guys who knew that they were just like us
a couple of years back and I'll always remember them for that.

| I'm sure they played The Penthouse(cant remember who supported them) and they were
excellent. Can't remember who they supported at the Apollo but have a feeling i did
see them there. Great band.

| Yeah i was at the penthouse gig too, what i remember most was that the band had a new
bassist i think he was called merv goldsworthy??? he wore a green boiler suit and
played the bass like he was in haircut 100, excellent gig with only about 200 in the
place the band played a set list made up of requests from the crowd. was this was one
of their last gigs before splitting up?

| Bass player was David Williamson - superb funk bassist. Merv Goldsworthy played
the 1982 gig with Diamond Head.
