Folkypaul - I also saw Hedgehog Pie at Middlesbrough Town Hall Crypt in 1975 and spoke to Michael Doonan at the bar during the interval, a great gig, on the strength of that I bought the first Hedgehog Pie album. BanjoRay - I actually spoke again (over 30 years later) to Michael Doonan at a gig they were doing in Wakefield last Saturday night. He is still playing but he is now with a band called the Solicitors who are a soul based band, but he still plays folk with his band the Doonan Family and tour quite frequently. I took my album along to show him, he was gobsmacked when he saw it and how much he'd changed (sadly the dark long curly hair and beard have gone) but he was such a lovely man and we had a really good chat.
