Jim carro;l,here is an obituary of john brun by Reg Hall,DATED 18,4,OI.
[John Brun became acquainted with Minty, Levy,and jasper smith,and recorded an interview with Jasper.He was on close personal terms with Davy Stewart and his family,and it was he who introduced the Stewarts of Blairgowrie to Ewan Macoll.He had recently published his memoirs for private circulation containing accounts of his political work on behalf of the Travelling community.]
Jim, I will prefer to remember him for being responsible for the above.,and for the Roving Songster[a fine collection of traditiomnal and John Brun songs.
I suspect he was the victim of a personality clash with Macoll.HE CLEARLY[rightly so]didnt agree with macolls, ludicrous idea, that englishman should only sing english songs etc.
Seems to me Brun was right.
