Life’s a scream: Bobby Gillespie takes a trip down memory lane

Primal Scream frontman Bobby Gillespie is taking a trip down memory lane with the release of his autobiography Tenement Kid. The tenement he is referring to is his first family home on Palermo Street in Glasgow’s Springburn, where he spent the early years of his life. STV News took Gillespie to see his former primary school, Hyde Park. “I enjoyed primary school, yeah,” he says. “It was a lovely period of my life.” Recalling the fun he had with his friends, sledging down the hill at the back of his school on his “ma’s tea tray”, his early memories of Springburn are largely ones of adventure and discovery.
