Alan Gorrie wrote himself a series of cheques of amounts up to £40,000 in just over a year-and-a-half while working as an accounts clerk at the pensions firm's head office in Edinburgh.
After Gorrie had pleaded guilty to the charge, Sheriff Craik said: "This is a vast amount of money and whether it is repaid or not, the court must take a serious view...He was using the money for not only financial necessities, but three cars and holidays."
He concluded that a jail sentence was inevitable and told Gorrie: "Quite clearly, for you, this is a tragic situation, but it is a situation you landed yourself in.

 Average White Band Bio and Update at SoulTracks
The alternating turns at lead by tenor Alan Gorrie and gravelly falsetto singer Hamish Stuart gave the perfect front to the hot arrangements and tight playing of group members Onnie McIntyre, Malcolm Duncan, Roger Ball, and Robbie McIntosh (who tragically died of a drug overdose in late 1974 and was replaced by Steve Ferrone).
The group's excellent work during the period 1974-1982 was captured on Pickin Up the Pieces: The Best of the Average White Band, a wonderful 1992 compilation on Rhino Records that is as essential a set of 70s funk as any group has released and is a testament to the great music that AWB recorded.
In 1987 Gorrie formed a revamped AWB with McIntyre, Ball and Duncan and subsequently recorded After Shock, a minor success on the Soul charts.

Gorrie, Ball and McIntyre reunited in 1989 (see 1989 in music) to record Aftershock, and Ball left the band shortly after its release.
Their self-effacing name to the contrary, Average White Band was anything but — one of the few white groups to cross the color line and achieve success and credibility playing funk, with their tight, fiery sound also belying their Scottish heritage, evoking American R&B hotbeds like Detroit, Memphis, and Philadelphia instead.
After adopting the abbreviated moniker AWB, a year later the band issued their self-titled sophomore effort, topping the American pop charts with the Arif Mardin-produced instrumental "Pick Up the Pieces." The record's mammoth success was nevertheless tempered by the September 23, 1974 death of McIntosh, who died at a Hollywood party after overdosing on heroin.

Average White Band: Hamish Stuart, Alan Gorrie (vocals, guitar, bass); Onnie McIntyre (guitar, background vocals); Roger Ball (alto & baritone saxophones, keyboards); Malcolm "Molly" Duncan (tenor saxophone); Robbie McIntosh, Steve Ferrone (drums, percussion).
Alan Gorrie's soulful vocals and percussive, syncopated basslines interact perfectly with Hamish Stuart's funky, rhythmic guitar work.
On the band's signature tune, the mostly instrumental "Pick Up the Pieces," the theme is stated by a punchy-but-slinky horn section, with sinuous interpolations from Hamish.

You may also think that a lot of it was recorded and mixed in a big expensive studio.
You may get the impression that you're listening to a line up of great guitarists like Pat Metheny, Alan Holdsworth, Scott Henderson, or Jeff Beck… or great bassists like Paul Jackson, Stanley Clarke, Alan Gorrie, or Jimmy Jamerson.
If you're clever enough to figure out that it's none of the above, you may still want to believe that this incredible musical journey was planned out very carefully in some painstaking way.
