Hi Folks,
Anybody out there remember a couple of Scottish bands of the 1960's named TANDEM and TOBY JUG ?
Especially any link with Newtongrange Institute near Edinburgh
My girlfriend is from Newtongrange near Edinburgh originally and we got to talking about groups we went to see in our youth.
Thanks

Hi Jeff, Apologies for this late reply and thank you for your reply, but unfortunately no it's not the band I was talking about as they are not Scottish |

Hi William,
Glad you’ve posted. There’s been nothing new on the forum for days, I was beginning to think that the powers that be had decided to switch it off!

Info from The Kinema Ballroom Dunfermline Scotland
Tandem
Dougie Jake
Dougie Cochrane - vocals
Jake Dourley - guitar
Brian Hook - bass
Archie Marr - guitar/keyboards
Alan Paterson - drums
Later:
Neil Mcleod - guitar
Kenny Stott - vocals
Scottish band from the Edinburgh area (previously with 'The Henchmen' - 1966-1968/9).
Dougie & Jake later joined ex-'Bay City Roller' David Paton and ex-'Circle' drummer Ronnie Hogg in 'Fresh', later 'Christian' / 'Christyan'. They were replaced by Neil Mcleod (Guitar) and Kenny Stott (vocals) who dropped the "ny" and called himself Ken Stott and has gone on to have a successful acting career ... The Tandem were a respectable live band with a healthy fan base in Scotland and each member had their own fan base.
Archie also left to join The Bay City Rollers.
[Not to be confused with a band of the same name from Great Yarmouth, despite umpteen internet references to the contrary! The Great Yarmouth 'Tandem' were a 5-piece band, originally called 'The Sons of Fred' - Ghoulz.]
