The Smiley Smile Message Board

Interesting interview with Bruce---if the low-key tour comes off, it'd be good to see and hear.

One thing he says needs explaining---if Bruce means trhe BB were the first rock group behind the Iron Curtain AFTER the Russian invasion, fair enough.

But my rock group from Scotland toured there from 15 July to 1 August 1966--one show in Prague, then we toured out of our base in Ostrava and did about eight shows in recreation centres, Pioneer camps etc.. (Ostrava has a population of around 350,000). We had to pretend to be Scottish country dancers to get our visas---only later did I find out we could have been jailed for that  !!!!  Also, I have some grounds to believe THe Hollies were there at some point...and Lulu (who is not a group  :----)
