We're a bunch of guy's who just love music, live music, it is hard to beat, no pun intended, honestly, you know yourself, if its not live its jive
Why this name?
I wrote a song with the same name, so it seems only right that I dedicate it to the Guys, you can listen to it now, its live, it shows.

Every Mon eve. 8pm in the Athletic Arms Mossend, near Bellshill, Bonnie Scotland
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It is a fantastic medium to expand your sounds, brill!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Who would'nt ?

Tom Grierson and Davy McGowan are the other two Us Old Guy's, they run a fanzine about Donovan and are both acomplished players/songwriters, I personally made them part of Us Old Guy's without thier consent but nobody is complaining, watch this space, ching.
