Nice to see that Rab Noakes is still performing.
I have some recordings he made in the 70's. Such a lovely singer/songwriter.

Hello, Dickmac - wishing I could be there. I enjoyed performing at the Irvine Folk Club back in 2003. It sounds like a great festival!

Hi Mary
Hope you're well and still singing away.
The Club moved to a new home, the Golf Hotel, in January 2005 and it has proved to be a great success. The same old faces are still around.
