Don't Call Me Clyde!

The Clyde Valley Stompers became in the 1950s Scotland’s first ever super group. In 1961 at just 20 years of age Peter “Pete” Kerr inherited leadership of the “Clydes” after they moved to London. The band stormed the charts the following year and were launched into the glitzy world of mainstream popular music. Then to the dismay of the Stompers’ legions of fans the curtain came down. But this is more than just a chronicle of their rise and fall. It’s also an affectionate recollection of family life following the Second World War and of how a young lad went all out to realise his dream.
