I remember that several young Scottish lads came to my home town in Southern Ireland around 1965 and stayed for the entire Summer. They had guitars and mandolins and played mostly the songs of Hall & McGregor , The Whistlebinkies, Archie Fisher, Alex Campbell and The Corrie Folk Trio. These youngsters hailed from the Glasgow area of East Kilbride and had been inspired by what they had been hearing in their local pubs, so they told me. Of course they soon picked up some Clancy Bros and Dubliners material as well !
I wonder if Robin Thompson or Angus McLean are still playing, somewhere ? :-)
