what happened next
Writing on the Wall  Willy still gigs today (and collaborates with some stellar artistes) as Willy Finlayson and the Hurters. Finlayson also played Friars in 1975 with Bees Make Honey and in 1976 with Meal Ticket. Limmie Paterson succumbed to illness. Bill Scott is now in Australia. Jimmy is still making music as is Jake Scott
