Alex Campbell's career continued right up to his death which is a testament to his popularity, not only in this country but around Europe.

From the notes on the "Alex Campbell sings Folk" LP you can extract the following "Alex is a natural entertainer with an irresistible magic that communicates to his colleagues and his audiences with the result that everybody gives of their best. Hence the tremendous atmosphere of a Campbell session .......... we recorded him in his natural habitat holding a guitar in front of an audience ....... singing folksongs without any tricks of orchestration, without echo chambers, without fussy arrangements and without those little commercialisms which are too often thought necessary to the success of folk song on record."

For those of us who did like him and his music the above quote says it all.
