I found out on TV - there was this comedy video show and two of his songs came on and I was like =>
But years before that, actually, I'd heard Another One Rides The Bus (which was used on an ad for a Scottish TV show [an episode where these old dudes get stranded on a bus]) and liked it, it just took me a while to develop into a huge obsessive fan.
And I'm not the only Scottish Al fan - there's my sister and my friend who is Yoshi X2 but won't come on here...

I've also just found out that my other friend's boyfriend is one!
That actually counts as a cult following in Scotland... haha!
We're such a lickle country...

I live in Scotland, south of Edinburgh in the Borders, though I'm English. I've been an Al fan since 'Fat' and 'Eat It', though I kinda lost touch with what he was doing for several years. I'm back now though and I love Al!!!!
