CITIZANS BUREAUX

BIOGRAPHY:

Local act formed in 1979 by Robert Brown (vocals), Tam Graham (drums), David Horsburgh (guitar), John Haggerty (bass) & Ian Robertson (keyboards). After playing the local scene for most of that year, the band finished with a gig at the Maniqui. The following year Graham & Horsburgh quit (with the latter turning up years later in Talon) and were replaced by John Fitzpatrick (guitar, ex-Flyer), & Mike Fitzpatrick (drums). That line-up did not last long, with the new members being replaced by Pete Culbert (drums) & ex-Rejects guitarist, Graeme Scotland. Haggerty joined Prymal Urge. In 1981 the band added guitarist Eric Milligan, before splitting, fraustrated with the local music scene. Brown & Robertson went on to form Ninja, whilst Scotland turned up 25 years later in Dutch. A reformed version of the band appeared in the late 1990's, featuring Brown, Robertson, Pat "Paddy" Johnson (drums, ex-Aramanth) & Dougal Rae (guitar/vocals, ex-Aramanth). Johnson then went on to play with The Deed.
