Grand Ole Opry, Govan, Glasgow, 1986

In 1986 I found myself living in Scotland. Back then it was wise to keep your head under the parapet if you were English. This is why I was cautioned to never travel to The Grand Ole Opry. I could to be lynched, or worse.

Never say never.

On entering I was greeted with genuine warmth by folk whose only crime was to dress-up at the weekend to escape the hardship of life in the Govan Road area of Glasgow.
