Happy birthday to Roddy Frame, 61 today!

Roddy and Aztec Camera were part of the same early 1980s teenage Glasgow indie scene that spawned Strawberry Switchblade, and he played his beautiful sweeping acoustic guitar chords on the debut single Trees and Flowers in 1983.

Jill Bryson: 'That's me with Edwyn Collins from Orange Juice & Alan Horne of Postcard Records. That's early, that's probably 1981, before Strawberry Switchblade. That's outside Postcard Records, I lived round the corner.'
