Life’s a scream: Bobby Gillespie takes a trip down memory lane

Primal Scream frontman Bobby Gillespie is taking a trip down memory lane with the release of his autobiography Tenement Kid.
The tenement he is referring to is his first family home on Palermo Street in Glasgow’s Springburn, where he spent the early years of his life.
STV News took Gillespie to see his former primary school, Hyde Park. “I enjoyed primary school, yeah,” he says. “It was a lovely period of my life.”
Recalling the fun he had with his friends, sledging down the hill at the back of his school on his “ma’s tea tray”, his early memories of Springburn are largely ones of adventure and discovery.

I've met him he can be a bit odd at times but when I met him with my late pal he was lovely

Ah, Bobby- he comes across as beautiful man. Only this morning my wee girl asked me who I preferred out of Primal Scream and The Beatles. Still thinking about that one and it's lunch time. Maybe (maybe) Primal Scream. In the early 90's Screamadelica landed in my life like an atom bomb. And I've been feeling the love ever since. I've loved every minute of being with you all at the gigs. Come Together ❤

I saw him once, with Primal Scream in Minneapolis, Minnesota, it was an amazing show!

Tenement Kid is a great read. He's a very good story teller. Would love a follow up about the Vanishing Point/Xtrmntr years. That's when I think Primal Scream were at there best

If you're into Primal Scream or enjoy rock biographies or even what Scotland used to be like. I can heavily recommend Tenement Kid. It's one of the best rock biographies I've read, he can really write and it's both entertaining and interesting. I read it straight through over two days, it's a proper page turner.

Amazing book! Gives a lot of details of early jesus and mary chain days too

@@salgfrancisco It does, lots of really interesting stuff. If you're into that sort of music, I've just read Will Sergeant's [from Echo and the Bunnymen] autobiography [Bunnyman] and that's a really good read too.

Tenement Kid is such a great read. I have not long finished Will Sergeants book which was very good and I am now on the Malcolm McClaren book which is also great.

Springburn’s finest. Good to see the pictures of the old Springburn and the interview outside Springburn Library on Ayr Street. Incredibly, BG grew up within 100 yards of where Molly and Tom Weir, and Mo Johnston lived too. Small world!

If you think he's such a great guy, read keyboard player Martin Duffy's sons statement about how he treated his dad in the lead up to his death. Shameful.

Seems a jolly nice chap. Saw Primal Scream once in late 90s or maybe it was early 2000s. I asked my mate why they only played for five minutes? He said what you talking about they've been on for an hour and a half
