Jesse Rae: over the sea. 1985
I was reminded of this by T when he was round seeing in the new year at HDTOGA Towers. He also told me that Rae wrote Odyssey’s Inside Out. In 2007, Rae stood for the Scottish Parliament as an independent in the Scottish Borders electoral constituency of Roxburgh and Berwickshire. He gained 318 votes for a 1.2% share of the vote. He stood again in 2011 as an independent candidate in the expanded seat of Ettrick, Roxburgh and Berwickshire this time polling 308 votes for a 1.1% share. Well I never.
I saw Rae years ago as part of an On-U Sound package tour that included Gary Clail singing about Beef and Alan ‘Alanna’ Pillay singing about Human Nature. Weird tour that.
