- Billy interviewed by the non-smokin' Muriel Gray in 1985 on a short lived music show made for a scottish channel. Billy speaks about business problems with the release of "Perhaps", his thoughts on the relative value of chart success (or not) and playing at Ronnie Scotts. In the middle of the show there is a strange and prophetic astrology reading from the show's resident New Age astrologer who sees Billy's future as having "a mysterious aura similar to that of Marilyn" ("The beautiful dead one. " he quips, differentiating between Miss Monroe and Boy George's chum, the then happening chart-starlette Marilyn).
Finishes off with a live run through of "Those First Impressions"
The more I see of Billy the more i like. He was incredible.
"IF YOU LOOK AFTER MUSIC IT LOOKS AFTER YOU"
The song played right at the start of the video is a wee unreleased tune which Michael Dempsey and Billy did called "The Isle of Dogs". I just edited a wee chunk of it in behind the credits. It seemed to fit the mood. Just drop me a wee message if you'd like a complete MP3 of it.
@robbiejobby38 Tom Doyle's "The Glamour Chase" would have benefited greatly from many things. While I think it was written with heart from a fellow Dundonian, journalist and fan... I think Mr Doyle's book was written quickly and at points is scant on detail and falls into a "Smash Hits" kinda style. Don't get me wrong - I'm glad Mr Doyle wrote the book and it certainly filled in a few gaps - but it left questions and glaring career "gap" years eg. "The Sidlaws Years". Aye a much missed man.
Regional telly programme, so this isn't as widely known as the Associates' Top of the Pops or Tube appearances, but it's every bit as good.
rip Billy xx
what is the song played in the very beginning? heard it a couple times before but failed to catch the name.
