Thank God the school holidays are almost over......

As for Scott Davidson, he also appeared on Top Of The Pops once (in November 1990), can't be many people with City connections that have done so over the years

Incidentally, the real drummer in Bros, who wrote all the songs, is now a multi-millionaire manager for artistes like Anastacia, Beverley Knight and Imelda May and his music firm has offices in London and Los Angeles. Before that he ran RCA records.

Davidson was in a number of undistinguished bands in the 80s [as was I], was a tour keyboard player for the Pet Shop Boys and Bros thanks to a connection with the late Tom Watkins, manager of both groups, before setting up Trade-It when he was in his late 20s and having a highly successful business career. He's still only 60. 

The idea that because you can play keyboards well is some source of shame could only occur to a desperate and deluded 15er. Just like thinking having a nice watch means you must be one of the world's wealthiest men.

Wasn't his mob circling around Ashton Gate like "vultures" back in 82 hoping nobody would help us out, so they could steal another ground?

The worst kind of "Vulture Capitalism", literally waiting to pick on the bones of an apparently dying carcass, but probably dismissed as a sensible business move by mr double standards.

I think it's great that we can count amongst our chairmen and managers a successful musician, a film star, and an England national team manager.

It's much better than being a run of the mill club.

Absolutely, not many feature in two top bands, up there with Paul McCartney.

Incidentally, Scott once gave me the original words to 'West End Girls'...

_________________________________________________________

Sometimes you're better off a s’head

There's a top gun in town and its messing with your head

You think you're mad, you’re in the stable

Punching horses and falling down tables

In a restaurant in a Tote End town

Call the police, there's a mad man around

Wait a minute he’s building our ground

To a dive bar in a Tote End town

In a Tote End town, a dead end world

The East End boys and Tote End girls

In a Tote End town, a dead end world

The East End boys and Tote End girls

Tote End girls

Apologies, slow day at work!

Robbo mate, stop talking nonsense.

You’re referring there to Craig (Ken) Logan, the one of Bros who wasn’t one of the Goss twins - and played bass. The actual drummer was Luke Goss, who went on to a moderately successful film career, but wasn’t a music manager.

Weve had enough nonsense on this thread without you adding to it.
