You can find a fair few videos of The Lost Soul Band on YouTube. A fresh batch has been uploaded, showing us playing our songs at the recent gigs in Edinburgh’s Liquid Rooms and Glasgow’s King Tut’s.
It’s a real treat for me to hear these tracks. Onstage things sound very different. Brian is an extremely loud drummer and I can’t hear Gav or Adrian all that clearly. It’s great to hear how well everything is working together. And holy crap, Adrian can play that geetar, can’t he?
Having a particular interest in listening to the lower frequencies, I do recommend that you choose the 720p setting for the playbacks on YouTube – you might have to choose that setting and pause the video straight away, give it a wee while to download enough to get ahead of itself, then start it playing. Also, you’ve got to listen to them through good speakers or headphones – rather than the speakers on your phone or laptop.
A few folk have shot us and they’re very good and I’m very grateful but if I were to choose one channel to view it would be Ruth Blaney’s IGetSpellbound channel. She’s probably got the most stuff and you’ll be able to watch footage of Scotland’s second best band; Teenage Fanclub, among others. Once again, big thanks to Ruth Blaney for having the patience, and a good enough device, to record these.
- Lord you know I’m just a man and You must know how weak I am & These old clothes

- Looking through the butcher’s window
- Jane
- God & The devil came ridin’ in
- Country boy & You’re lovely to me
- Fungus Mungus
- Leaving & You can’t win them all mum
- That’s not how the song goes & Lord you know I’m just a man and you must know how weak I am.
- Trashscene, Coffee and hope & The last train
- I’m waiting for the man (cover version)
You might also want to check out Gordon’s YouTube channel Sheebhar (anyone remember sheebhar?). He’s got lots of links to LSB stuff and there are, of course, many excellent videos and recordings of him in his Lucky Jim skin.
Happy viewing.
