No Mean City (album) No Mean City is the tenth studio album by the Scottish hard rock band Nazareth, released in 1979. The album title comes from the 1935 novel "No Mean City" and features artwork illustrated by Rodney Matthews.
Hurdy Gurdy (band) Hurdy Gurdy emerged from the Danish group "Peter Belli and the Boom Boom Brothers" (aka "The B.B. Brothers") in June 1967, when three members of the B.B. Brothers, guitarist Claus Bøhling, drummer Jens Otzen and British vocalist and bassist Mac MacLeod formed the power trio. Inspired by Cream but with more psychedelic leanings, they split from Peter Belli and MacLeod named the band 'Hurdy Gurdy'. They had considerable success in Scandinavia, breaking many attendance records for their live shows. The band moved to England in early 1968, after MacLeod had been deported from Denmark.
