You don't see or hear much about 'The Wheelchairs' on the net but I thought they were a fuckin' great band mainly from East Kilbride in Scotland. When I first saw them live they were a 3 piece, Calum, bass. Sammy, drums and Dick, guitar and vocals. Their gigs were always a good laugh full of energy and they always seemed to get everyone up dancing. Its such a shame they never managed to release anything as they worked pretty hard at it, later Dicks brother Bill joined them to make their sound even better and tighter. The last thing I heard after they split (and this is going back a good few years) was Calum joined Oi Polloi, but has now crossed the water and is in various bands one being Final Conflict. Bill and Dick I think went to live in Bradford and I'm not sure about Sammy, what ever they are doing I wish them all well. Anyway here's an early practice, ex quality as a 3 piece but I think it was Scott Laing on drums for this. I will be posting some of their live stuff soon !!!!DO YOU WANT TO COMMIT ADULTERY?
