JAILHOUSE ROCK 

THEY say everyone deserves a second chance.

And for one former narco-trafficker jailbird turned rocker, it comes 30 years after he nearly hit the big time with a band he formed while in a Spanish prison.

Former Costa del Sol resident Allan McCarthy, 61, once found minor fame as the front man for Berlin 90 (named after the wall which had just fallen), even playing live on national television from jail.

While performing shows for Spanish television and radio, the gregarious Scotsman penned the song Runaway from his cell.

Visor Fest kicks off and its director tells us the latest news. Alan McCarthy, the former Scottish prisoner, premieres songs 30 years later
