‘I’ve been the soundtrack to nights out in Glasgow for 40 years’

The bar will no longer be trading as of Friday.

A special menu featuring some dishes from the original 1984 menu is on offer for those pulling up a seat at “the last stand”.

Prices have also been rolled back to their rates from that era.

Bill recalled playing the song “Young and Foolish” in his first performance at the venue.

The music and lyrics were originally written by renowned musical duo Albert Hague and Arnold Horwitt for the Broadway musical Plain and Fancy in 1955.

It was later recorded by the likes of Tony Bennett, Bing Crosby and Johnny Mathis among countless others, but perhaps became best known as a number 20 UK hit for Dean Martin later in the decade.

Bill said he has opened his set with the track every night since then.

“Now, I’m old and more foolish, but I’ve always started off with that,” he said.

“I still feel that I could have gone on for a couple of years. But then again, maybe at my age it is time to call it a day.”
