Thank you to Simon Clegg for the above scan from Sounds dated February 14th 1981.
Simon writes: This photo was my first or second photo assignment with the late Johnny Waller for 'Sounds' (now defunct) - the other being 'Weapon of Peace' at the Nite Club. I got paid an enormous amount of money for it, £40 plus expenses. To put that in perspective, in 1979 the firemen went on strike to get £25 a week and right now in Australia the average teacher earns $275 a day,( £137.50) so pro-rata I earned more then than I do now especially considering that in those days at the height of the new wave I surfed into an average of six gigs a week photographing at least two bands per venue per night. That volume of gigs is testament to the wealth of live music playing in the city of Edinburgh at the time, and is why your site is as much a social commentary as a memory lane site.

Thank you to Ken for his memories of Tiffany's
"Also went to quite a few gigs at the old dive that was Tiffanys in Stockbridge.God those fishing nets and glass balls hanging from the ceiling! Martha and the Muffins late 1980 were good.The best by far though were The Pretenders late 1979 (I think) - Stop Your Sobbing had just scraped into the charts.Chrissie and the boys put on a great show.She was in her iconic red leather biker jacket as they jumped on stage post Ride of The Valkeryies overture.I remember they played every track off their first(just released) album and when the crowd roared for more she said "Sorry but we've played everything we know!"The encores had to be songs they'd played earlier but still went down a treat with the adoring audience.By the way,they were supported by a then unheard of UB40!"
