WeAreElgin Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I remember walking down Eastgate at about 7 in the morning a few years back and seeing him trying to saw a lock off a bike next to where his stall was. Nice guy I'm sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullerene Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I still remember his days as a busker, holding a guitar in hand and doing something with it. I refuse to use the word "play". Unless the judge is stone deaf, if the prosecution gets hold of any videos of his guitar torturing days - well, I don't expect him ever to get out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 It’s hard to understate how bad he was at busking. A few years back Inverness tried to bring in a license for buskers and he and a few others protested it and viewers across,Scotland were treated to a performance from him, it’s not even describable as music. I know most buskers aren’t great and it’s easy to mock but holy shit he was bad. I mean, I am completely lacking in musical talent and have never even held a guitar but I think I could at least equal him in a battle of the bands and he was there every day for years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Hadn’t really paid much attention to the story but we were staying with friends in Bunchrew last weekend and they showed us the house he had built at the top of the brae.Good god. Could have been you. #prayershun 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I’ll mainly remember was three rings for a fiver, which now has a very different meaning 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This the same guy who occasionally swims Loch Ness for charity and is generally well known character around the town. Have any P&Bers ever faked their own death? Have any P&Bers ever bought any bracelets for this gentleman? My Mrs best mate pumped him in his van for some bizarre reason 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Capital Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 I see he's been denied bail and his defence lawyer has claimed the trip to America was a holiday and he really was caught out at sea. Must've been some rip tide considering he turned up in Colorado. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
