Victor and Barry's Kelvinside Compendium: A Meander Down Memory Close (Hardback)
Alan Cumming (author), Forbes Masson (author)Published: 25/07/2024
Alan Cumming and Forbes Masson resurrect their 1980s alter-egos Victor and Barry in this hilarious and nostalgic 'meander down memory close.'
‘Hold on to your chapeaux, because this story is a beezer! It’s a stoatir, so it is!’
Victor and Barry are the epitome of the expression ‘big in the 80s’. Annoyingly, they were also a little big in the first bit of the 90s too, so that phrase doesn’t really pan out very satisfactorily; much like Victor and Barry themselves, in fact, who completely disappeared from the face of the Scottish showbiz scene in 1994 and were rumoured to have actually died on stage.
But apparently rumours of their deaths have been greatly exaggerated, and the two can still be spotted strolling the leafy suburban lanes near the home they have shared for many decades at 22B Lacrosse Terrace, Kelvinside, Glasgow G12.
In Victor and Barry’s Kelvinside Compendium, Alan Cumming and Forbes Masson reminisce about their hectic years as Victor and Barry through both beloved and never-before-seen photos, songs and musings in a scrapbook style compendium, including a foreword from former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
