The Skids LIVE AT THE MARQUEE London UK 1978 - VOODOO WAGON

 THE SKIDS

I saw the Skids live and then later when guitarist Stuart Adamson left to form the trio Big Country and I have a signed album and 12" single of the period after Jobson and Adamson had unresolved musical differences the new band went on to have top pop success but Adamson struggled all his life with alcoholism and after a period of ten years sobriety was found in 2001 in a hotel in Hawaii having hung himself and his post mortem revealed he had consumed a "large quantity of alcohol". He was a fine innovative guitarist and strong singer and he will be missed
