When I wander around Scotland I often am told I resemble the Big Yin. Such a compliment! 2 dozen selfies last autumn. I was in Glasgow when a morning news story told me that the original paintings had just been unveiled in the People’s Palace so I hot footed over. Standing alone in front of the art I noticed 2 women in the corner of my eye. One said to the other’Og God, he’s here!” Whilst I’ve disappointed more than my share of women over the years, It not a good feeling to know how much I was about to disappoint these two lassies the moment they hear a Boston accent. Lol😂

Press the like even before I watch.

I was in Glasgow last week and I had 20 minutes to spare waiting on a train that I spent people watching in George Square, I had a double take of everyone who passed on a bike in case it was you darting about making episodes. I've only seen Billy live once about 25 years ago, but I still think the uncut "Audience with" show form the 80s is hard to beat.

[@AstonishingGlasgow]

Wow, thank you so much for the super thanks and if you ever fancy coming on a tour (if I ever get round to arranging another) then you would be very welcome. P.S. It seems that my trademark is becoming my red hoodies so that makes me easier to spot.

[@janetmackinnon3411]

[@Murphmeister1]

Great video, you should have included the John Byrne painting of Billy hung in the PP too 👍🏻

[@AstonishingGlasgow]

At the time I made the video the John Byrne exhibition was on at Kelvingrove and the painting was there. Its now a nice surprise for those visiting the Palace 😀

[@toryglen]

I didn't know about the 4th piece of art. I have driven past this part many times. I will look out for it on my next drive,. (slip road from Expressway to Kingston Bridge, quick look left at the "50" sign).

Good To Find You Worked In The City Most Of My Life Since 1976 And Before Goldberg's Days Yeah Glasgow's History Is Up Observational

[@AstonishingGlasgow]

Did you work in Goldbergs? I used to go to the 4th? floor and spend my pocket money in Beatties model shop in the early 90's.

[@carabara3947]

No it was just for reference but yes do remember the toy store and the fish pond at the entrance

[@Thanks_for_posting.]

Excellent thanks for posing

[@johnmclean1046]

I thought his best performance was in Deacon Brodie. What a actor.

[@Carrie_.]

I had no idea Rogue One was involved in one of these, i really like his work. I've also seen that 4th piece in passing but i didn't realise it was Billy! Good video, thanks 👍

[@AstonishingGlasgow]

I hope i am right about rhe Rogue one connection. It certainly said on an article that I read them Rogue one worked on this one.

[@tantricpanda]

@BTJustice how about a video on the Barraland, Maggie McIver and that part of Glasgow history. Enjoy your videos, keep them coming.

[@AstonishingGlasgow]
