Nyah Fearties

I'm listening to them now for the first time. This is good raucous demented fun

Yeah, a really strong Ayrshire accent - that was part of their mythos which kinda was that their life in a Lugton barn was halfway between Straw Dogs and The Wicker Man. Did they hang around in Paisley much? Other than at actual gigs I used to see them in Kilmarnock and Ayr a lot, busking or at parties. But they traveled around.

I don't remember tbh, but Lugton's like 10 miles from Paisley - I know I know, it seems like another world from the bright lights and sophistication of Paisley...

XXXP -

I was brought up in N Ayrshire (Dalry) but all my immediate family are Paisley born and bred and there's definitely a Paisley way with certain aspects of speech and sentence construction that I don't really hear in Ayrshire or Glasgow.

Fearties lyrics are the best kind of brutal poetry.

Even just the elegance of:

Made her eat a pun o' cheese
Until she had a fit

Does anybody here know anything about a very early Nyah Fearties appearance on an Ayrshire comp cassette called something like "Free Fall"?
Would have been around 1982.
I'd love to know more about the cassette (if it existed!). Bands, song names, label, date. A scan would be a godsend...
Working on a Scotland discography 1977-84. I had just assumed the earliest NF was a couple years later. But I'd love to get them (the most Scottish band...) in.

Free Fall Vol. 2. Fearties track is called "Rubdown". I don't have a copy.

Everything—Thanks for the confirmation/lead. Would you possibly have any info about the label or year of release? Interesting that there might have been a "Free Fall Vol. 1" or even 3, 4, 5...

Send me an email via the ilx system and I'll get back to you.
