im not political , but i know the bloody struggles behind , shipyards, jute mills, mines and im very proud of the fact my father was able to feed us by pulling out his guitar at wknds + picking berries + tatties he never ceased to amaze i miss him everyday but wot a lucky lassie i am coz Joe Dailly brought me up and i claimed him as my Daddy !
He may have been gently mocking his sons but deep down he was proud of them for selling more copies of "Signing Off" than his entire back catalogue. RIP Ian Campbell.
He might have chuckled, but he was terribly bitter. It’s sad to think he may have died jealous of his sons’ success, rather than proud of his own achievements.
Not true. At all. He wrote the track ‘madam Medusa’ in full, and was a co-writer on the song ‘food for thought’... he never wrote an album for them The first album ‘Signing off’ was written entirely by the band itself aside from the two above. I do wish people wouldn’t make up misleading comments on the internet
First track ‘Tyler’ for example writers: Ali Campbell Brian Travers Earl Falconer Jim Brown Michael Virtue Norman Hassan Robin Campbell Terrence Wilson You have your information wrong so just take the L and do your research
nice little speech. so sad his sons have since stopped talking to each other. "don't let it pass you by ."
