Topic: Stone the Crows

Great Scottish blues band from the early 70's.

Love the clothes and vibe of that era!  It was great having a brother 7 years older!

Re: Stone the Crows

Great band. The guitar player, Leslie Harvey was (The Sensational) Alex Harvey's brother. Les was tragically electrocuted on stage at a gig back in '78.

Stone The Crows also featured James Dewar on bass, who went on to handle the bass and vocals for Robin Trower during Trower's heydey.

Re: Stone the Crows

I loved this band too. Maggie has a great blues voice. I think I only saw them once - got the gig poster to prove it somewhere.  hmm

Duncan, since I don't watch telly, I didn't know that, so thanks. I'll try to catch it next time it's on.

Re: Stone the Crows

I didn´t know that they are still around. Used to be one of my favorite bands long long time ago.
