So frightfully camp, it made you laugh, t omorrow I’ll buy myself a dress (how ludicrous)” “I wore my fringe like Roger McGuinn’s, I was hoping to impress. The inspiration behind the band was even-name-checked in Orange Juice’s Consolation Prize, Edwyn Collins’ glorious take on unrequited love informing us: I already liked radio staple Mr Tambourine Man, but there were many more great songs I was soon switched on to. The Long Ryders were part of the stateside variation on the theme – on the so-called Paisley Underground scene – that caught my imagination, and pretty soon Sid Griffin’s band led me to investigate further the work of McGuinn’s outfit. There were a host of influences offered up, and alongside those frequent Velvet Underground mentions there was also a nod to The Byrds. Some stood the test of time, others soon foundered, but it was a healthy scene all the same. My arrival on the London gig circuit properly came in the mid-’80s, amid a plethora (or a plectra, maybe?) of ‘jingle-jangle’ indie bands.

I feel those of us who spent our teenage years watching guitar bands owe something of a debt to Roger McGuinn.
