.....and while we are on the subject of 1971, here's Harmony Row, Jack Bruce's second solo album, released that year.
The sleevenotes for this album says that Harmony Row was around the corner from a stretch of tenements that was a mile long. The debate continues.....

How good was Jack's album? As a fan of Cream I went down the Clapton route. Jack was never as accessable and I should try and get into his solo stuff.

Harmony Row wasn't as 'commercial' as his first album Songs For A Tailor, and that wasn't exactly commercial!
I only ever bought those first two solo albums.
I'm afraid I was never a fan of Clapton, although I almost bought Layla (the single) out of Bruce's Records at the time of its release. |

CLAPTON IS GOD
Reading his book at the moment. Having first read he ex wife's book (Patti Boyd nee Harrison nee Clapton).
I have seen Clapton in concert 4 times and he is GOD
The Derek and the Dominos album is fantastic would recommend it as a good place to start if you haven't really go into Clapton.
I do prefare his earlier 60's and 70's stuff but the last time I saw him in concert was two years ago and he hasn't lost any of that magic.
Will try and give Jack a spin if I can get any of his stuff in Fopp.

Remember this ran all day in various locations throughout the city including George Square & Glasgow Green.
Off the top of my head I remember the following acts playing: Hothouse Flowers, Hue & Cry, Big Country, Deacon Blue, Slide, Kevin McDermott Orchestra, Wet Wet Wet, Sharleen Spiteri and, er... Sheena Easton (who was roundly bottled off stage) 
Anybody else at this or have any more info on it?

Hi Synchro
Someone I know had a video of this which was shown on Channel 4. The tape quality was poor and he gave it to me to copy for him. I managed to get it onto 2 DVDs. It isn't great quality but watchable.
Most people I speak with remember the event but I haven't come over any other details about it as yet.

My missus was at that. I would only have been 8 so maybe a bit young for it. She enjoyed it.
