About

There aren’t many groups who managed to stay together musically and physically at a time when bands seem to come together for a brief period and then fade from the scene. It’s refreshing to listen to a group like The Vagabonds.

History

The band was formed by Greg Scott and Craig Sutton.

Members

  • Maurice Nicholson – Vocals
  • Craig Sutton – Guitar
  • Greg Scott – Guitar
  • Jim McColl – Bass
  • Cade Pallasch – Drums

    Ive seen this band on many occasions and know all the members, sadley Greg Scott known as Pig to us passed away. Craig Sutton is still going strong in a band called Fat Albert,and has performed in many others and have had great raves. Its great to have this site sent to me as it brings back so many fond memories and some unreal party times.

    Regards

    Lizzie

    Hi Liz, thanks for the info on Pig. I didn’t know that. I had the pleasure of doing sound for the Vagabonds many times back in the mid 80’s and they were always great. Nice blokes too.

    Cheers, Gibbo

      Let me know if you guys ever come back here down south, Doctor Jekyll is hanging for one hell of a good time as most of the cool bands have gone and there’s not much left to see.

      Cheers Jim

    Hi all, sad news about Pig, you boys might remember doing quite a few gigs at the Leumeah Inn, I used to book the bands there and was the DJ for many years, you guys were definitely one of the best going around and I worked alongside of many bands in the 80’s including the big Doug P and also the Choirboys who recorded Fireworks in the Leumeah inn also, ah the good old days, I still have a few of the Vagabonds promo posters tucked away somewhere, cheers to all and thanks for the great memories DJ Greg
