GUEST,Jim Bainbridge	“Lamentable Fiddlers” in Sandy Bell's Bar… (207* d)	RE: “Lamentable Fiddlers” in Sandy Bell's Bar…	29 Nov 24
I doubt if Aly Bain was barred for playing his fiddle.... Barbara's description of the Forrest Hill Bar as I knew it in the late 60s sounds about right- I wouldnt know about the present 'Sandy Bell's' version, but it sounds all too familiar generally, but I'm even older than Barbara, with me.mories of that time- the Marsden Rattlers were regular daytime visitors. And the mention that 20 people would fill it reminds me of the wonderful John Eaglesham's verse in his 'Inveroran' song 'Noo the bar at Inveroran's not the biggest one you've seen I once was in with fifteen blokes but they were very lean I heard they once got twenty in wi' using Vaseline Aye it's cosy in the bar at Inveroran'
