2NaFish Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Seen him countless times at hearts games. My dad, font of knowledge but a bit square, told me he was some guy in some band when i was but a lad. Was only mildly scared of him at the time. Hope he gets better soon, good jambo, didnt realise it was the exploited he was in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuitarJambo Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Allegedly struck off the dole for appearing on Top Of The Pops a few days after signing on. Get well soon. "I want to go to Huddersfield." walked into wester hailles job centre (if memory serves) the week after performing on TOTP, wattie stuicks out like a spare proverbial and the guy thast was signing him recognised him, stung for 3 or 4 years back dated dole money so i understand, or at least that was what he said, not like a punk to fan the flames of legend!

Millerntor Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Ive had the pleasure of supporting the exploited a couple of times with my band and hanging out with Wattie a few times. See him a lot at tynie. He's a great guy and even took time to wish me well during my recent illness. I sincerely hope he makes a full and speedy recovery.

Punks no badword deed! Happy to hear Wattie is on the mend. We used to live along the landing from the Buchans growing up in WGT.Wullie and I were good pals and I probably spent as much time in the Buchan household as I did my own.Used to go Blair Street most weeks to watch the band practice if they weren't touring.Good times.

JamboInSouthsea Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Get well soon Wattie!!! My mate drummed on one of The Expoloited albums, can't remember which, as the usual one had drummers elbow...he didn't get a mention but had a good time in Edinburgh and Wattie saved him from a kicking at one point, tho' my mates pretty hard and not someone to tangle with.

Shanks said no Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Allegedly struck off the dole for appearing on Top Of The Pops a few days after signing on. Get well soon. "I want to go to Huddersfield." For 30 odd years whenever Huddersfield is mentioned on TV or the radio I have said "I want to go there" much to my families irritation. Anyway, I was in the Regent, the Exploited's regular Friday night haunt when they returned from London and TOTP. The abuse they got that night for selling out was hilarious. However the story they told about Claire Groggan that night has lived in my memory for decades. Get well soon Wattie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
