Hello Tattie
         you're dead right about Maggie- apologies, I'd just forgotten- I stayed at hers before her strokes & she as just as feisty as ever. I did review the CD for Living Tradition so I should have thought a bit harder- thanks for the correction. It was posthumous only in the sense that it was compiled many years after their joint musical activities had stopped.

For a taste of the Edinburgh song scene in the old Sandy Bell's see if you can get a copy- I can help if not- some great old songs you never hear nowadays- it even includes a song called the 'Sandy Bell's Man'!
