true jit: the sale of the house
When Gordon sold 72 Mortimer Road, Kensal Rise, London, NW10 5SN in 1996, whether he made profit or loss, it really doesn't matter to me. I understand he bought a house in Scotland from the profit he made, but he didn't want us to know. He never paid back our monies that he had been cheating on us. Not even a single penny was paid to the berieved family members of Shakey, David and Biggie. Myself and Kenny, who are alive today, also received nothing. When interviewed by journalists about this, he lies about the band owing him money. Yet none of us borrowed money from him. Whoever did ask for money would get at least £5 maximum. That is how stingy he was.
Most people would wonder why and how we were managed by a Scotsman who are well known for being tight with money. I recall most of our gigs he would appear only if there was a big cash or cheque payout. We used to do most of the tour without him. He would be at home with his family receiving all the fat cheques. The band would be sweating it out on stage, travelling day and night on dangerous roads and bad weather. Whenever we met up to get paid, he would show us his dodgey sums on a small piece of paper which he called envelopes.
Up to this day, he failed to produce his managerial financial accounts, which were demanded by law. I have good reason to believe he is scared - the truth may come out and he could be nicked for tax dodging, and other atrocities.
