Marti
Pellow
At
March 23rd, 1965 baby Mark McLachlan was born. Growing up in Clydebank/Scotland
to a length of 1.75 m he thought it would be nice to become Marti Pellow,
the mega-talented (and gorgeous) singer of the wonderful Scottish band
WetWetWet. His eyes are brown, and most of the time also his hair, but
sometimes he decides to dye it back "to its original colour" (platinum
blonde, but you don't have to believe that!), and then the copse don't
match, but - hey! - c'est la vie!
He
considers himself to be a Maraschino cherry and likes an occassional sherry
or a 50:50 shandy, but that means that he really
pushes the boat out! One night he even stayed up until 12.30!
One
of his favourite hobbies seem to be cars. As far as I know he once has
got a BMW and a Mercedes SL, but his last pride is (or was? There were
rumours that he transformed it into a big heap of tin in July 1997) a Ferrari.
The
Sunday afternoons he usually spends watching the Antiques Roadshow, but
as you can imagine there are, errm, things he fancies more... Like eg to
embarrass young women at concerts, asking them about their underwear!
His
biggest fear was to forget the words to a song while being onstage, and
indeed - his biggest fear became true in August 1997 at Sheffield Arena,
when suddenly he couldn't remember the words to "Julia Says". If this was
worse than ripping his trousers in Aberdeen?
He
always wanted to be a good singer and moans that the people only want to
see his ****, but that's not
true! That's not
the only thing we want to see, nah, we want to see everything,
but - honestly! - we also love to listen to his incredibly great voice.
