In Memory of Stuart Adamson

Sources

The vast majority of the gig data was gleaned from a three-month page by page trawl through 68 years of our local weekly newspaper 'The Dunfermline Press' held in the 35mm microfilm archive of the Local History Dept of our fantastic Carnegie Central Library. During my semi-residence there I was most ably assisted by their friendly and highly professional staff. If it's been a while since you were last there, you're missing out on a great resource.
