alan mcneil
musician: guitar
associated with band: february 1977 - november 1977

Alan McNeil in 1978 Very little is known about Alan McNeil - as the third guitar player in Johnny And The Self Abusers, he was already adding to an overfilled position. But as a friend of John Milarky's, his inclusion was natural, and allowed John Milarky to play sax and/or Charlie to play violin.

He also added to the general chaos of that summertime of madness in Glasgow. In August 1977, the Abusers were sharing a flat, and a drunken McNeil, waking in the night and urgently needing a piss, relieved himself in the bell of Milarky's brand new saxophone.

He left the first line up of Simple Minds at the same time as John Milarky.
