Thread Name: Scottish song - Bogie's Bonnie Belle
Subject: RE: Scots song - Bogie's Bonnie Belle
When I agreed that the 'Fureys' were at Blair in 1968,that was Finbar and Eddie only, of course- I do remember seeing Davie Stewart busking in Coupar Angus, only a few miles short of Blairgowrie on the way to the festival & giving him a lift there- Christy remembers that too...he was following us.
This summer, the RTE radio morning 'John Murray show' asked listeners to call in & request Christy for a song- I requested 'Bogie's Bonnie Belle' & to is great credit, he remembered all of it, and old Davie as well. Mind you, he was a memorable character- he used to call me jimmy brainbox & he was known to friends as the 'Galoot'
I've still got that LP, Dave- & no I didn't borrow it from you!
