WHITE HEATHER TUBES

BIOGRAPHY:

Local act formed in 1996 by Joe Cowan (banjo / bodhran, ex-Burns Bar Ceilidh Band), John "cowboy" Cowan (guitar / vocals), Davie Fawcett (vocals / harmonica, ex-Bottle), Geordie Fawcett (guitar, ex-Bottle), Neil Clark (bagpipes / whistles) & Derek McMorrow (accordian). The band brought a self-titled CD out in 1996, which featured covers and a couple of originals, the most popular of which was called "The Banks Of Forth & Clyde", a song which is, as far as I know, the only one featuring Camelon. They played "The Event In The Tent" in Grangemouth in 1997, before splitting, and now occasionally get together for the odd reunion. Clark still plays with the Strathclyde Police Pipe Band.
