Jock McDonald RIP - A true punk legend and good mate of The False Dots

22nd June 2024 flyer

Devastated to hear the tragic news that one of our great mates, Jock McDonald of punk legends, The Bollock Brothers has passed away. The False Dots played with the Jock and the Bollock Brothers many times over the years, at such Camden haunts as The Dublin Castle and The Purple Turtle, as well as other venues around town, most recently on the 22nd June last year at the Charly Records 50th anniversary party at the Dublin Castle.

The band, especially our drummer Rambo were involved in all manner of rock and roll shenanigans, going back to the 1980's with Jock. Life was never boring with Jock around!

Anyone who knew Jock will know he was a larger than life character, who embraced the punk ethic and chaos. He was also a great front man and someone who made things happen.

We'll not see the likes of Jock again.
