Graeme Taylor, one of
the 'Moonrakers' wrote: On
the Roof
"This photo of the band was
taken on the rooftop of Orange Lodge, South Bridge / Nicolson
Street, opposite Chambers Street. We had a practice room
there.
It was great until someone
stole our VOX AC 30 amplifier. We were one of the first bands
to use this amp which is still used to this day and is regarded as
one of the best!"
