It’s not like they’ll be loaded. Doesn’t really diminish them as artists (probably makes it a much bigger statement, especially back then when it was worth even more) and Drummond and Cauty are both interesting characters in general, as well as musically. Jimmy Cauty did the famous Lord of the Rings and Hobbit posters you used to be able to buy in Athena. They actually managed to make the Brits interesting once too, which is no mean feat. I did see a previous documentary where they had a box or suitcase that contained the ashes of the burnt cash. They were taking it around art galleries and a dealer said it might be worth something in the region of 10 grand. He strongly recommended they go to the Bank of England with the serial numbers to try and get the money back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was in some boat shed iirc. Same island Orwell wrote 1984 too I think. I’ve never actually been although I’ve seen the Paps of Jura peaking through the gloom from the southern shores of the Isle of Mull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 35605 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I saw Drummond about 15-20 year ago in the Forth. He was meant to be doing some spoken word performance type thing but it was about 10 on a Friday or Saturday night and he stood up on a table to do it. He got heckled / shouted down as almost everyone in their assumed he was just done pissed Scotsman. Which to be fair is the distinct impression he gave it was quite sad really. Fuck knows what state he’s in now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blastronaut 1344 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Didn't Drummond grow up in Dumfries? Burning stuff is just the done thing down there. Nice part of the country like, gulf stream n'all that but fuck me do they have a thing with setting thing on fire for fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
