LAST week I told the story of how Glasgow group The Beatstalkers became so famous in their home city that they were known as Scotland’s Beatles. Like the Fab Four, they inspired riots by teenage girls, most notably in George Square on the afternoon of June 11, 1965. Once again, I have enlisted the help of one of the band’s founders, Alan Mair, who is still going strong and making music. He recalled last week how the press reacted, and on Friday, June 11, both the Evening Times and Evening Citizen rushed out late night specials to cover the extraordinary events in George Square. The Citizen revealed that a special meeting of the Council’s parks committee had been called for the following Monday to discuss the riots, which had ended with the five Beatstalkers escaping via the City Chambers, while their mostly adolescent girl fans rampaged through the hallowed halls of the municipal headquarters.
