I'm sure I saw the lead singer Kevin Rowland on the bus on the way home from work about 4 years ago.

Terry - thanks for sharing that awesome find. Really good shots of the bassist getting into it. The Young Ones was a great show!

Actually my son spotted it years ago when it was on the TV when it was repeated so I went to YT to see if it was on there.
My son was into basses at the age of 9 and he was very observant on guitars and basses

Scottish club member Georgieboy believes that he is in possession of that very bass now.
