He comments on current issues regularly on his other page (heres the link) http://www.myspace.com/noliquer He is also writing his first book which is about his life growing up in Glasgow where many gangland and religion segregation events took place in his life He then discovered that his love of music and the Punk scene called him to London to express his musical tallent.Playing with the STRAPS,living in punk squats in the late 70s, drugs ,gigs he went to and his general ups and downs throughout his life.The Straps are now back on the road and recording again check them out on their page http://www.myspace.com/httpwwwmyspacecomthestraps
