SAIGON 1981
Saigon were a Scottish Band 1980-1982. We released 3 45's. "Where are the Roses", "Diving through Sand" & "Green Carnation".
My big influence lyrically was the French Gay wrirter Jean Genet, who wrote my favourite book "Our Lady of the Flowers" while inside Fresnes prison. In November 1981, as a homage to the great man, we performed 2 concerts in the prison for the inmates.
I am currently rehearsing new members with a view to rerecording some material and doing some concerts.
