BTW, it was Radcliffe who first started playing Belle & Sebastian.
For your history books ... Peter Easton (Beat Patrol/Radio Scotland) already played a Stuart Murdoch demo back in early 1994 (!) ... most probably "Le Pastie De La Borgeousie", since it was Stuart's first classic ..
ah! Peter Easton! Was he still going in '94?! Is he still going now? Man, he was great, he had the best radio show in the country in the mid - late '80s, he played all the best indie-pop underground sounds. He also 'advertised' what was meant to be a private beach party in troon during the summer of 1988 (i think, it might have been '87, but my memory is shot), where the sea urchins, orchids, bachelor pad, close lobsters, remember fun and visitors were going to play... sigh. Saddly it was like monsoon season that day and we had to cancel it and adjurn to the pub instead. Still there were trails of soggy indiepopsters with tents to be seen trailing from the train station to the beach! Weird as hell... if only that day had been sunny, it might have changed all our lives. Phew. But yeah, Peter Easton. Top bloke. And cool to know that Stuart was obviously tuned in to him as well. sorry about the turgid reminiscing, the duke. feeling dead old now cos caz is gonna read this and go, oh i was only 10 when that happened, or something... pah.
