In 1985, The Smiths embarked on a short Scottish tour, from Sept 22nd at Irvine-Oct 1st at Inverness.
The official tour programme was a fairly scant affair, and included little more than bog-standard 'what's your favourite colour?' type biogs for each band member.
As Andy and Mike's thread seemed a little light, I thought I'd furnish you with their details...
