The Team Towers Hall of Fame
This page is a tribute to all the people who have helped us get to where we are today. These people make the gigs happen and give us the strength to go on, because atleast we know that they like us!! If you've been left off this page your obviously not trying hard enough ;), either that or we dont like you.....nah, just joshin! Apologies for anyone we have missed, and if you think you've made enough effort to merit a place in the 'Team Towers Hall of Fame' then just give us a shout by posting on the cockboard. |

The Lads!!
Here you can see the one and only 'The Lads', of course you will probably know The gayfer standing on the left and the big princess in the middle but you may also like to know that the others are Kano, Ben and Sned. These guys, dressed in traditional Towers uniform, are roadies, drivers, music critics, merchandise men and banter merchants rolled into one. Their ticket selling prowess is world renowned and we certainly wouldnt be selling out the Cathouse without their help. The ones that got away from the photo are Fraz and Fergie.

Chand and the hockey chicks
When it comes to ticket selling Chand can always be relied on for a cheeky wee twenty. Ticket selling can be something of a 'take no prisoners' open conflict type affair these days at Bearsden Academy with everyone vying for top seller, needless to say she is never out of the top 3!! Also thanks to Scissors, Joey and Emma....and BigShow, altho to be fair to him he's not a bird....yet???!!! |

Towers love the Bouncer action
Big Shout out to Johnny, Euan and Ally Reid who for most ot T1, T2 and T3 spent their time standing on the door and looking a wee bit frightening, Johnny in particular with his black jacket appeared to be born to do the job!! Cheers for all the help boys and im glad you finally got 'enjoy' T4 cos you were relieved of your duties! Also cheers to anyone else who has volunteered to help such as, Blade, Moodie, Harry, Coafee, Geoff and anyone else I have forgotten. |
Mr Ferguson
Fergie, Fez, The Ferg. The only memeber of 'The Lads' not to make the picture, he is usually found stealing the show by wearing a bright white sailor suit which is famous for making girls, ladies, single and married mums alike weak at the knees! Ticket Selling legend and veritable band manager in terms of the stuff he does for us. He co-ordinates ticket sales, drives our equipment around, gets us drinks and even has songs dedictaed to him such is the high esteem this human being is held in by us. Interesting fact-In the photo ferg is doing 'Farting Situps'.....so....you know....every cloud, yeh?!!! |

GSA (Guest Singers Anonymous)
In a similar fashion to Spinal Tap drummers, Towers guest singers have a nasty habit of disappearing once brought to fame....one even spontaneously self-combusted on stage, it was better than any pyrotechnics display we could ever have bought I can assure you! Pictured here with his best side (the back of his head ;)) to the Camera is Minge with his horribly difigured hair....its Ginger. The only guest singer to appear three times on stage for the Towers without disappearing into thin air, Minge has performed at T1, T3 and T4 and the main reason he remains the unofficial 5th Tower is that he approves of Towers playing blink songs and is therefore a useful allie for Tower when it comes down to song choices! Other guest singers of note are Dave Mansouri (DTF) and David Yates and special note must be made for Mr Niaboc (Grant FTL) who stormed the stage at the last song of T3 to sing dammit....bizarre! |
Gig Control
Gig Control did sound and lighting for T's 1 through to 3 and did a marvellous job. Gio in particluar has helped with a whole host of things rangng from creating back stage passes to nailing together a make shift stage!! Also special note must go to Greg from Go Audio, a rock and roll drumming sensation who provides the equipment that gig control work their magic on. On the subject of soundmen thanks to Dave from the Cathouse for making even us sound good! And while we're on the subject of the cathouse, thanks to Keith and Dave from Kingsonic productions for running the gig on the night....and dealing with people who swear in public!! |

Support Acts
A huge thanks to all the bands we have had the pleasure to have worked with, Spyre, Talent Show Dropout, Frank the Loser, the Line Changes, Three Mile Island and Lux and many more who we havent played with yet. The crowd is always pumped by the time we come on and that is the ultimate tribute to the other bands who whip them into that frenzy. |
Merchandise Men
A huge thank you to Gav and Dave from Barone for designing and constructing out most excellent merchandise range (even if they are self confesseed life time members of the white trainer brigade!!). Bar-one do all forms of merchandise and they are the best in the business if your looking to get some kool logos on a shirt, hoodie, fleece, jacket, hat, gilet??!!! click on the pic on the left to go straight to the bar-one website |

Multimedia
Thanks to are video men, Gavin 'The Hannelator' Hanel and Ryan Hendrix (Jimmy's boy!!), your hours spent finding just the right angle have given us years of entertainment, cheers for giving up your time to film us, and hopefully one day we can get round to constructing that 'Rockumentary'!! Also big thanks to our official photographer Carolyn Sinclair for all the hard work she's put in over the years and also to anyone else who has contributed photo's. |
