 the Orange Ludge and 'bauns' in Glesga's east-end

I was sent this photo from Mr.Alex Barbour a former secretary of the band. The photo was taken cc1975 when the band was visiting Liverpool for the 12th July parade, the band visited Liverpool regularly and Alex believes the 'Amateurs' were one of the first Scottish band to do so?
Alex still resides in Glasgow and is a fan of the GlesgaPals website.  Mar.2008

Photo below from GlesgaPal Henry taken cc1967  ......... recognise anyone?

LOL 37 District, Bridgeton
 

The bald guy at the front looks like
Big Tam Crawford.
To his left its possibly Danny Houston
The band is the Easter Amateurs FB
being led by Willie Bowes

In the background is the British Paints works,
St Crispin Works, in Cornwall Street, Glasgow
From the map it looks like the parade is marching into Scotland St.
