My favourite memory of Robin was at a late night informal Glasgow Folk Festival gathering, I and a couple of others were getting wellied into a Muddy Waters number and Robin came barrelling across the room to join in.
We show and talk rightly of our love for our Irish and Scottish traditional song and tunes, but we also had and still have equal enjoyment in American blues, Old Timey songs, etc. Macoll once in the late 1950s dismissed us in Glasgow as 'Tartan cowboys'. Not sure what the Irish equivalent would be - Skiffle Micks' maybe? Robin was one of the really good guys, a sad loss.
