Billy’s eighth long-playing album, “A Touch of Tartan”, was released in 1980 and the stage production of “Scotland the Brave” continued to be one of Clubland’s greatest draws.
He produced   successful 13-week series of “Tonight” variety shows for NBN TV through his production company, Glen-Martin Associated.

During 1981 he appeared in TV and radio shows - top-rating radio station 2CH featured him in a Nine O’Clock Special - and he had a smash-hit season at the Manly Music Loft Theatre Restaurant with an especially devised revue “A Toast to the Tartan”.
“A Toast to the Tartan” was booked into The Sir Joseph Banks Room Theatre Restaurant at Bankstown RSL Club for an 8-week season on Tuesdays to Fridays, commencing 20 October 1981.

Following the Banks Theatre Restaurant at the Bankstown RSL Club, Billy and his company (GMA) was asked to continue producing shows for the extremely competitive new “Club” theatre restaurant market.
Another long-playing album was released in 1983.
In late 1983 Billy started working with the new FM radio station 2BCR-FM (Bankstown City Radio) - the FM station with the largest potential listening audience in Sydney radio - featuring an Australian/Scotland request programme heard by 1.5 million listeners each Sunday morning in Scotland.  The success of this show resulted in the management of 2BCR asking Billy to have his own 3-hours per day Monday to Friday show, “Showstoppers”, which ran until mid-1987.
Billy was invited to join the Board of 2BCR, which he declined but accepted a position on the Station’s Programming Committee.
