Thread Name: Glasgow Eskimos
Subject: RE: Glasgow Eskimos
Another one of those wide open questions that would take a day of typing to respond to. I thought the video taext explained who was who and what was what? The Eskimos were a group of singers / songwriters protesting about US nuclear subs being based just upriver from Glasgow in 1960+. The show commemorating them had those named above in it, plus me and plenty more. Jimmy Ross was the only one of us with half a claim to be called one of the Eskimos. Most of the Eskimos are dead, but Nigel is in Birmingham, Jim is in London, and Jackie may still be with us. Josh and Hamish and Morris are sadly missed.
