This is from Jim Kerr from Simple Minds.

He says this, "Back in the '80s, we were trying to create a kind of European sound, cinematic and emotional." Bobby Gillespie from Primal Scream, he says, "In Scotland, there was always this feeling that you had to create your own world." Stuart Adamson of Big Country says, "The idea was to make the guitar sound like bagpipes, something unmistakably Scottish." Eddie Reader says this, "There was melancholy in Scottish music, but also humor." And we're gonna wrap it up with Roddy Frame from Aztec Camera, and he says this, "Glasgow gave you toughness, but music gave you escape." There you go.
