I get you Peter.   In Inverness in the 1980's we had a regular country scene, and a lot of cross-over influences.   Daniel O' Donnell was up here liked my father's song 'My Bonnie Maureen' - as: "See I keep saying that Scottish songs and Irish songs are very much alike, and they are - and this is just a song that is very very nice" Daniel O' Donnell 1988.

If we hadn't had that the cultural exchange he wouldn't have recorded it.   And at least Stewart Ross wrote the whole of that one!
