Bio
From Edinburgh, Scotland, formed in 1977, the Headboys released an album of power pop in 1979 on Robert Stigwood's RSO label. The LP was produced by Peter Ker (Motors, Bram Tchaikovsky). The first single, "The Shape of Things to Come" coupled with "The Mood I'm In" was a minor hit and the band planned a U.S. tour to support the album and join the New Wave craze that they reluctantly became a part of. But they decided not to tour the States and retreated to the Scottish countryside to record another album. The second album, however, was never released. ........ ............Myspace Layouts.. - ..Myspace Editor.. - ..Image Hosting.... -

Hi George, sorry to here aboutt Davy, any more news on a release date for the 2nd LP ? Cant wait to hear it

Hi George, real sorry to hear about Davie, very sad loss. May he rest in peace. What a great tribute to Davie to have a Headboys CD release, a lot of people still love this great band. Did you ever hear the live Marquee show I bootlegged on 13-2-1980 ? I sent a copy to Brian Lewis in Dundee and about 2 months later I heard back from Lou. I remember you saying that the band could not overrun on the night because of the curfew imposed on bands in thos days, not sure you made it due to the fact we would not let you go. Even Jerry Floyd, the resident DJ could not get enough that night. Truly amazing show and considering the age has lasted amazingly well. Let me know if you need a copy and I will send you one.
Lets hope the first albums gets a CD release too one day, fantastic songs with riff's, melodies and lashings of hooks.
All the best - Steve8 months ago
hey George, how's the second album plans coming along? I hope/assume it will feature '24 Hours', which i loved when hearing on a Radio 1 session you did waaaaay back...

I live outside Chicago and work at a marketing firm called Jack Morton Worldwide. We did the Opening and Closing ceremonies of the Olympics and other events. I work in the states creating consumer experiences for live events around sports, trade shows, etc. I grew up in Detroit and Shapes was played on the Detroit and Lansing stations for a good while -- was very popular.

Where the hell are you Marshall and what do you do?

Great to hear, George. So sorry about Davy.

A message for all Headboys fans. In tribute to Davy, plans ARE definitely afoot to release a second album full of songs previously unreleased. Lou, Calum and I are getting together to ensure its the best quality and it will likely be on the Pop Detectives label.
Mark Hershberger (he runs the label) has been a Headboys fan and has been instrumental in this.
Most importantly though is to get your feedback. Your thoughts are welcome in shaping what's to come.

Planning tribute a big music jam for david in aid of diabetic research in summer, mars patrol, davids niece, hopefully will be able to headline. would be great if other muscians who have played with davy can play. David would love it. God bless davy xxxxx
