Thanks for the memories, folks.

A slight correction to my first post.. It was actually "The BOGEY Brothers" as opposed to "Bogie".

I think they were a sort of in between band between JTB and The Easy Club and mainly featured Rod, Jack Evans, and Jim Sutherland. Apparently, some of the other JTB members were unable to give quite the same commitment as before due to family interests.

In the 1983 Edinburgh Folk Festival, there was a "Welcome Inns" project where it was agreed that Scottish and Newcastle would help to sponsor the festival in return for some free gigs in their pubs.It was quite lucrative for some of the local musicians, I'd imagine, as they were able to appear in various line ups and guises. So, we had The Bogey Brothers, Easy Club and(if I recall correctly) also a reincarnation of Chorda too. I'm not sure if "The Bairns" themselves played.
