Not much to be impressed about, really - Iain said so in his intro. Just occasionally I like to check on the things he tells his audiences ... :-) If you see him, tell him someone on the Net was asking for him ...
Thanks for all the info, though I did know some of it - see here if you've got time.
I heard about the 'Iain and friends' gig on Archie Fisher's 'Travelling Folk which, thanks to the Internet, I'm now able to listen to. (Also, a rather fortunate way of reuniting the subject matter with the thread title, isn't it?)
