I also recall this band very fondly. I remember seeing them perform in Dingwall Town Hall in about 1952-5. There was an obituary in the Scotsman newspaper a few weeks ago of one of the band. As I recall from that obit only Big Bill was from the USA. No knowledge of recordings. What really turned me on to folk music was As I Roved Out, a BBC Sunday morning radio programme of filed recordings of unaccompanied singers. Astonishing. Then came Lonnie Donegan, and the whole world changed. Ewan McVicar |
