Roddy Frame (Aztec Camera) - Killermont Street (Acoustic Live)

[@garypeacock5919]

Scotland's greatest singer/ songwriter, has never seeked the limelight or walked on stage with a bottle of buckfast like a wee ned at a national awards show, but is appreciated by millions.

[@darrenhaylock9942]

Roddy Frame is quite simply one of the most underrated & underappreciated songwriters ever. The guy is a lyrical & musical genius who deserves & merits much more recognition as such.

[@simondoody2995]

2 of this generation's best singer/songwriter's watching in awe of 1 of the most underrated Scottish singers/songwriters of his generation... priceless

[@ebneigh5191]

Roddy Frame kicks the arse of the Scottish singers and songwriters usually mentioned above him but those who know, know the truth. He’s the best we’ve ever produced.

[@rigatone]

You can see Neil and Graham checking out the chords at different points, huge mutual respect between them all. Roddy is simply, a genius. Always amazes me he's not more well known but he's worth discovering at any point. Hope he tours again soon

[@jontunes]

Should have been the British Bob Dylan! Amazing artist and singer and songwriter. Love you Roddy. You were the soundtrack of my youth ❤

[@mrsuperger5429]

An absolutely heartbreaking song for any Glaswegian. God bless you, Roddy !

[@buickmclean8163]

I watched this when it was broadcast on BBC 2 in 1999. My girlfriend had gone , my job had gone , it was me and a bottle of bulgarian red wine. It was a great evening , I am very glad I can visit it again . I had a great time.

[@buickmclean8163]

Me too !

[@buickmclean8163]

Hello Buick , drunk again ?

[@buickmclean8163]

Yes , it's getting worse.

[@buickmclean8163]

Still , here .

[@buickmclean8163]

Me too

[@kevinthechameleon]

Quite possibly one of the most underrated artists ever who deserved and audience far bigger than he has had, fantastic lyricist. The amount of people who have heard me playing stuff who've said Wow who's that and become fans. Kevin, you're a lucky man having worked on his stuff.

[@wtorules4743]

Roddy sitting between two absolute songwriting Gods and stole the show. Exceptional talent.

[@LULUBELLEIII]

First time I set foot in Glasgow, I was on a bus, going down Hope Street. As the bus turned the corner to the main bus terminal, I saw the sign for Killermont Street, and got a lump in my throat.

[@petetobin]

I am seeing Roddy tomorrow for the first time in 30 years!

[@petertobin4957]

He was great and I especially liked this song especially the Wild Mountain Thyme break in the middle.

[@redderfreak]

Got a treasured photo of myself stood in front of the Killermont Street sign in memory of this beautiful song. Thank you Roddy Frame for the fantastic music. What an underrated talent.

[@scopex2749]

These three should do an acoustic album together! Perfectly matched.👏👏👏👏

[@helenlizzystewart4908]

Yes Neil Finn is an amazing kiwi singer songwriter

[@joolz040770]

This song reminds me of the long-distance relationship I had with a lovely man from Inverness. I used to stand at Killermont Street awaiting eagerly the arrival of my bus at Buchanan Bus Station, sometimes singing this wee song (quietly in my head of course, cos I'm tone deaf). That was almost 2 years ago. We're engaged now. Thanks for posting this.

[@hislatestflame7861]

joolz040770 I hope you've tied the knot by now 😉

[@MrPPower67]

I used to get on a bus on killermont street and leave my girlfriend (now wife) and have her waiting for me when i returned from the army way back in 1987.....many great memories with this song

[@musicfunkydude]

roddy frame,our neil finn!! wot a songwriter and superb guitar player,makes me proud to be scottish

[@derekblack6230]

High land hard rain classic album from one of best bands from Scotland

[@Glasgowklove]

As the city asleep Shares its dreams and desires Every wish that we keep Will trace a line to other times, other places Though the song of the proud Howls and dies, never fall for defeat Take a trip to reprieve Every hour they leave From Killermont Street Drink a drink to before And our memories spill Adding on as they pour From our Saturdays and secret sensations Drink a drink to tonight Whisky words tumble down in the street With the pain that they cure Sentimentally 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥳 🚌

[@qupp75]

I was so in love with "Somewere in my heart", so I remember hatt the age of 12 or 13 walking into all the record stores every day in my little little Danish town asking "do you have the new Aztec Camera"-album. And I was so happy when they finally had. "Love" is still one of my faourite albums. EDIT: Oh, and Killermont Street ended up being my favourite song from the album. And when I was in Glasgow a few years ago and saw the "Killermont Street"-sign, I suddenly submitted to all kinds of sentimentality.

[@trashmacann3846]

qupp75 I'm in killermont street right now. Thanks for supporting this great artist of ours. #aglasweigian

[@alexbrown6624]

What a tune ? Makes me homesick ! 💯🎯👍

[@miaschu8175]

I remember watching that episode of the Songwriters Circle (I think it was called) and taping it for posterity. I only discarded it last year, realising that I would never again own a video recorder! I watched it for Neil Finn, so I was thrilled to find that Roddy Frame was also one of the songwriters. (I was a 10CC fan, too.) That one was the very best of a great series.

[@BeatPoet67]

Simply a perfect song. There's no point in trying to describe it. Its description is in itself and its emotional effect. It's on the same level as "Yesterday" for me.

[@fouldsie1]

Richard Smith Agreed. Though it doesn't do for me what it does for you - Down the Dip is my "perfect" song - there's no doubt that this is an example of a guy at the peak of his considerable ability, & its wonderful, heartbreaking imagery could make a glass eye weep. Wonderful!

[@fonefilms]

beautiful tune. sublime and a great live version

[@jeremyk5126]

When music was good, real, not like today’s over produced talentless garbage! Like so many great amazing talents today never get the chance because the industry doesn’t care about intelligence and real musicians. There is amazing music out there just not on radio or tv! I’m glad nobody knows the good ones I can keep them for myself 👍

[@AsC00055]

Simply outstanding

[@Plumplechook]

Beautiful. What a fantasitc evening this must have been. Three great songwriters and performers together on the one stage. Roddy is a legend.

[@DRFW1962]

"As the ships and the steel slip away to the cry of compete." Hope to see you back home soon Roddy.

[@mrsmac878]

From Canada to Scotland Thank-you and from Scotland to Canada XXXOOO

[@jappybeast]

Reminds me of living in Scotland with my mum :)

[@tomst48]

[@parsonsful]

[@ADOC7]

I'll echo those sentiments - 10 years further on.

[@user-nd5jc8xv8v]

[@GiardinaMaria]

I love you Roddy Frame!!

[@scopex2749]

Roddy is a good today as hes always been, actually BETTER!! Go Roddy! My favourite song KILLERMONT STREET W H A T A V O I C E!!!

[@greenstatus2007]

Fantastic song by a very under-rated artist.

[@user-fq5gj7fq6l]

You sre a legend mate

[@user-nd5jc8xv8v]

i was esp interested to heargouldman cos 10cc were fkn brilliant in the 70s------finn crowded house were amazin, cuttin lyrics,,, but our roddy frame is second to none for song writing

[@Easternborders]

Rod we love you

[@fr4001]

this track is on a Fountains of Wayne double album of b-sides and extras I bought years ago and I always assumed this was their song, but it turns out it wasn't.

[@102lasvioletas]

Love this song, have the Love Album....."Whisky words tumble down in the street".

[@gorflet]

Thanks for this, it's brilliant

[@wullievenesky]

Can't believe this generation love big brother and love island more than these 3 musical legends ❤

[@manekineko615]

This song and Deacon blue's music makes me feel cloudy rainy humid night and soft warm candle light, if I pay attention to the music only, but not rilics. I like to feel this way, so I've never listened/pay attention what he singing in this song. Anyway, I like this music. Good music!

[@rkingphoto]

Wee Roddy fae Rockhampton Avenue, take a bow, son!

[@mmturner]

Amazing

[@martinkilbey9243]

Brilliant

[@animateangus]

Such a great song. Has anyone managed to source the full uncut programme?

[@cmcc3721]

I remember songwriters circle. Like the best idea ever that got binned before people got a chance to find it. What we left with? A compromised Jools Holland being forced to host guests like Stormzy. An absolute travesty!

[@SuperHotwater]

Love this song

[@NatashaLoggie]

Thankyou Rod..... xxx

[@nathanielmead]

Sublime version

[@miktaka1526]

So beautiful.So happy.But I feel So Sad now.

[@davanahsp6348]

Do they make this acoustic album to sell .. I think it is amazing..slow and clear Love this vertion so much

[@MrLeemery]

Awesome. Thank you for posting.

[@carolinegray3150]

Good singer

[@fastfrankblack]

I used to have this on video!!! Thanks For sharing!! this was a GREAT show :)

[@lyndonbaldwin]

lovely!!!

[@archibaldchimpin]

Sublime

[@ErnieDouglas]

The only possible way that lineup could be any better was if Paddy McAloon from Prefab Sprout was up their with his stunning British songwriting, lyrics & mosaic of beautiful chords. Neil, Roddy, Graham & Paddy the very best singer songwriters of the Commonwealth & beyond. Unbelievable. Gershwin, Lennon-McCartney, Bacharach... anybody.

[@Easternborders]

Magic

[@GodeffroyFaerber]

brilliant..

[@simondoody2995]

This song didn't resonate with me at the time, but when I left to join the army at 16 (32yrs ago) 😲.. it really is where Scots go to leave Scoland by bus at killermont street...

[@davanahsp6348]

❤❤❤

[@alla8529]

Родик , ты милый и красивый

[@gary1bv]

[@black__bread]

Roddy Frame, the boy genius that wasn't
