Jim Carroll.
I could mention other performers,one who puked up,all over the first row of the Marquis Of Clanricade Folk club,while playing the Banjo,
Or the famous Irish piper,who spent all day in his bed,didnt eat for days,and when he did eat,Made a concoction of Vodka AND Onions which he called Scald,and drank excessive whisky,we dont rubbish this mans collecting or his playing, because in later life he had a drink problem.
Jim,having read many of your posts,I am not surprised you didnt appreciate Alex Campbell.Ithought he was hilarious.Dick Miles
