Alex Harvey – The Mafia Stole My Guitar: Scotland's favourite albums, by Billy Sloan

Alex Harvey – The Mafia Stole My Guitar: Released – 1979 FRANKIE Miller once told me a great tale of the time Alex Harvey phoned him looking for a favour. The request came after Miller had made his acting debut in Peter McDougall’s BBC drama, Just A Boy’s Game. His role as hard man Jake McQuillan was critically acclaimed. In the play – shot in Greenock – challenges by rival gangs to “Come ahead, McQuillan” were met by his memorable ice-cold stare. It could have frozen molten lava. Harvey had a problem with a record company executive who had reneged on a deal. That look was exactly what he needed.

Andy Stewart and Rikki Fulton: Shared a bill with Red Army Choir at the Glasgow Empire

THE tramp around my exercise yard in the time of Covid has been accompanied by the understandable nagging from ageing limbs but also the more incomprehensible summons to times past. A regular companion has been Cillian Murphy. Or, at least, his voice. The actor has a show on Radio 6 that is broad in its scope and regularly powerful in its ability to spark memory. So it was, with snow suitably drifting up the slope from Maryhill, that I met again with the members of the Red Army Choir. It was not the surprise of hearing the Song of the Volga Men on an otherwise contemporary song list that caused me to pause. It was not my aching calves (and who brings small cows on a walk in a suburban park?) It was, rather, that I had been transported back to childhood and the dimmest of memories.

Glasgow's sensational Alex Harvey and his journey to stardom

Alex Harvey 1 The sensational Alex Harvey was born in Kinning Park in 1935 and he had a range of jobs – from carpenter to tombstone carver, before he settled on music. 2 His career spanned more than three decades, and he was part of a number of groups, including Alex Harvey’s Big Soul Band in the late Fifties and early 60s, but he will always be best remembered for his spectacular live performances and glam rock presence in the 70s with The Sensational Alex Harvey Band. 3 In 1957 he won a competition to find Scotland’s Tommy Steele: his charisma and musical talents put him miles ahead of the 600 other hopefuls. Harvey and his Big Beat Band opened for Johnny Gentle and His Group (which turned out to be the Beatles) at the Alloa Town Hall. It was a long way from the skiffle groups of the 50s to supporting the biggest band in the world.
