I'm not sure that's a reference any of us picked up on!

Never a bad idea to dig out Sons & Fascination...

'Uncle Bammo' is probably my favourite song by the Sensational Alex Harvey Band

Got this out the local library. Love it. Will likely invest in my own copy. And it has made me dig out "sons and fascination" again.

Thank you @graemethomson.bsky.social
