Maggie Bell & Dave Kelly & BBQ
The Inn at Lathones
As a teenager Bell sang with local dance bands in Glasgow,
and in the mid-1960s she went to Germany to sing at US air force
bases. On returning to Scotland, she and her partner, guitarist,
Leslie Harvey formed a group called Power which later became
Stone The Crows. But tragedy struck in 1972 when, in a freak
accident, Harvey was fatally electrocuted on stage. With fellow
Scots guitarist, Jimmy McCulloch (later with Wings), and
drummer, Colin Allen (later with Focus), the band continued for
a few months. "But really when Leslie died, the heart went out
of the group, and it was never the same again." Stone The Crows
broke up the following year, and for Bell, a new era began as a
solo singer. Tickets £35 Tel : 01334 840494

book ‘Gusset Path to Life’ anything is possible.
The gusset determines the way a woman moves and feels. If it is
cut the wrong way dramatic changes take place. If you are
experiencing mood swings, manic depression, irrational behaviour
and want to kill the nearest man to you… check your gusset out!
I did and it changed my life.
