The
Hipple People
This photograph and an
accompanying article comes from the magazine of the 1960s pirate
radio station, 'Radio Scotland' that broadcast pop music on Medium
Wave 242 from a ship moored offshore, off East Lothian in the Firth
of Forth. The
magazine reported that the Hipple People had been a successful
Edinburgh group for the previous two years, having "begun in the
era of The Avengers and The Athenians and moulded themselves into a
group equal to Edinburgh's best"
and that "until six months ago, the line-up was John Cross
(bass guitar), Ray James (drums), Jim Marshall (lead guitar) and
Sandy Lax rhythm guitar)". |
