This is the place where we will post your stories about the Green's Playhouse, The Glasgow Apollo and Satelitte City (The Wee Apollo). As it develops we will break the stories up into sections such as Myths, Gigs I missed, Meeting the Bands, Where are they now etc. No story too trivial and we will only edit out bad language!
New Forum structure on Apollomemories soon.

| Excellent Irish Band!!
Three brothers, Pat, John and Tommy McManus, latterly
joined by a vocalist whose name escapes me at the moment.
Didn't ever see
Mama's Boys at Apollo, but apparently they were very good suporting Thin Lizzy on the
Thunder and Lightning Tour (Lizzy's last).
I did however see them several
times at the Mayfair (now the Garage)and always thought they were brilliant. One of a
few bands that make me wonder where it went wrong. (when you hear the crap that did
make it!!!)
I have excellent photos of Mama's Boys, two of which I got
enlarged to A3 size and then autographed the following tour. (Pat playing his Roland
synth with a bow and John at the mic.)

| support to scorpions 1984. top trio. what a talented guitarist/fiddler pat m was.
remember that spinal tap-esque solo when he left the guitar in the middle of the
stage and then fiddled about with the delay/feedback to produce a kind of feedback
solo. saw them many times after this show. but they never got to headline at the
apollo. the closest they got was a great headline at the mayfair (now the garage) on
the power & passion tour. it all went downhill after that with the band going in an
a.o.r. direction. then there was the personal tradgedy of drummer tommy's death due
to illness. the two remaining brothers now are in and excellent folk/rock outfit
called celtus.
