Hppy 64th Birthday Richard Jobson born April 6th 1960 in Kirkcaldy.

Jobson at aged 17 was the front-man with the Scottish punk band, The Skids, who had a number of hits from 1979 to 1981, the biggest song being the top-10 hit, “Into the Valley” in 1979. The band was formed by Jobson and his friend, Stuart Adamson, who later formed the band, Big Country. After Adamson departed the band, The Skids commercially declined and disbanded in 1982. Shortly after, Jobson formed the short-lived band, The Armoury Show and, although not a commercial success, were critically-acclaimed by the music press. This was to be Jobson’s last foray as a musician as he turned his attention to modelling for a few years and once claimed he was the highest male earner in the industry.

Jobson has worked extensively on Sky-TV, presenting predominately film shows and the odd music show on VH-1. However, after the death of his old friend, Stuart Adamson, in December 2001, he reunited The Skids at a tribute gig for Adamson on May 31st, 2002 in Glasgow and, needless to say, stole the show.

Since then he has began touring regularly with The Skids as well as directing several films, the best of which, in my opinion is 16 years of Alcohol, based on his semi-autobiographical 1987 novel. New Town Killers is another he directed a decent TV movie set in Edinburgh. Jobson has also turned his hand to a wee bit acting, the most notable role was in the TV series Your Cheatin’ Heart alongside Ken Stott, John Gordon Sinclair and Tilda Swinton.

Richard recently put tpgether a new line up for The Skids and is currently doing a 45 aniversary tour,two gigs are lined up at this month in NeW Zealand before heading over to Australia for five dates in May.

"Eu sei que determinada rua que eu já passei

Não tornará a ouvir o som dos meus passos

Tem uma revista que eu guardo há muitos anos

E que nunca mais eu vou abrir.

Cada vez que eu me despeço de uma pessoa

Pode ser que essa pessoa esteja me vendo pela última vez

A morte, surda, caminha ao meu lado

E eu não sei em que esquina ela vai me beijar" (Raul Seixas)

The award winning Scottish screenwriter Troy Kennedy Martin was born on February 15th 1932 at Rothesay on the Isle of Bute.

I’ll hazard a guess many of you will not know the name here, but the vast majority of you, well here at home anyway, will know one of the most iconic lines out of a classic movie, the words  “You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off.”  

His father was an engineer and his mother a teacher. Moving frequently because of the second world war and his father’s work, his was a talented and creative family.

The family established themselves in north London, only to have the household income, never large, halved by the death of Troy’s mother when he was 15. The Catholic church helped to keep them afloat, and Troy went to Finchley Catholic grammar school, followed by Trinity College Dublin. After completing his National Service he wanted to move into the Foreign Office, but Troy, although having a toffee nosed name, did not speak with toffees in his mouth and was rejected. He thought if he was a published writer this might be a route in so set about work on a short work of poetry of novel, his novel, Beat on a Damask Drum but it wasn’t this that kick started his career on civvy street, but an article he wrote on boy soldiers in Cyprus the BBC picked it up and asked him to adapt it into a TV play. Based on his own experiences during national service as an officer with the Gordon Highlanders, this became the television play Incident at Echo 6, screened in 1958.

And that was the start of a career spanning over five decades, Troy Kennedy Martin is responsible for an impressive body of work and has left an indelible impression on the history of television. His work has touched the lives of millions of people all over the world and shaped the vocabulary of television today.

Kennedy Martin’s array of television successes include Z-Cars, The Sweeney and Edge of Darkness. He also made regular forays into cinematic script writing, most notably with his screenplay for The Italian Job. Another fantastic film he penned was  Kelly's Heroes, which featured some great actors in Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Donald Sutherland and Harry Dean-Stanton 

Innovative and influential, Kennedy Martin showed that quality drama could be accessible. His nuclear thriller, Edge of Darkness , one of the key television works of the decade, was repeated on BBC1 a mere 10 days after the final episode had been transmitted on BBC2. His ITV production Reilly: Ace of Spies is another favourite of mine was also highly praised and was one of several works screened at his 2006 British Film Institute retrospective. Based on the true story of  Sidney Reilly, I never knew the story beforehand and I was shocked when Reilly played brilliantly by Sam Neill fell after a shot rung out and was left lying in the snow, I was willing him to get up....... Kennedy Martin;s script really hit home. 

They were a talented family, his sister Mo, was a member of the London/Irish folk group folk group The Tinkers, his brother was also a talented writer for television, he created the popular BBC Cop drama, Juliet Bravo, and The Sweeney, enlisting Troy to pen some of the episodes. 

Described as a “ A talented, generous and agreeable man, he was dedicated to his work. He married the Z Cars cast member Diane Aubrey in 1967 and remained devoted to their two children after their divorce.

Troy  Kennedy Martin  died of lung cancer on 15th September 2009 aged 77, in Ditchling, East Sussex.history television movies films
