To fill -out what this is about rather than the irrelevant stuff from gargoyle. Those of us who chipped in via Gofundme got the following via email today. The original hasn't got any paragraph breaks either!

Colin has posted a new update to Help Dick Gaughan in seeking to retrieve his music

Thank you so much everyone for believing in this campaign and contributing in such fantastic numbers – nearly 700 people in four days. We all know how tough these times are, not least for professional musicians – and I can see that a lot of musicians have contributed, publicly or anonymously – so to have such numbers empathising with Dick’s cause and with the wider matter is very heartening indeed. The sum raised so far – well over £20,000 at the time of writing – is fantastic. We honestly had no idea if the cause would resonate with people. But that cause clearly has resonated and the crowdfunder has been widely shared. Do keep sharing it if you can. Our true aspiration is around £35,000. That was the figure entered into the GoFundMe system, though it defaults to showing lesser targets and then raising those periodically. No idea why! Who knows if even that sum will be sufficient to grind through what one suspects, from personal experience and the experience of others consulted, will be lengthy legal correspondence? But as Dick often sang, ‘it’s what you do with what you’ve got’. Dick is one of many artists who recorded for Trailer / Leader in the 1970s who surely deserve a renaissance in appreciation. On a personal note, I’m thrilled that it’s happening for him at present; I hope – and Dick hopes – that it will happen for others. Thank you again, sincerely, from all of us involved in Team Gaughan. If you wish, listen out on BBC Sounds / BBC Radio Scotland to Travelling Folk tomorrow evening (17 July) for a Dick Gaughan special featuring new interviews with the great man and some of his associates. Colin PS Hats off to the splendid Ian McCalman, one of Dick's best and oldest pals, and a legend of Scottish folk singing and Light Entertainment, for allowing us to film the crowdfunding video in the home and garden he shares with Ellen and the dog (whose name I didn't catch on the day). Here he is with us after the filming.
