I last saw Watt Nicol when Danny Kyle draged me to a pub in Paisley where a stage hypnotist called "The Man" was performing. The man was of course none other than Watt.

BTW No1 Hamish recorded Scottish Breakaway at least twice. First on a single on Transadlantic b/w "I'm the boy to freeze them". This recording later surfaced on a sampler, and I think it's this one Nick is asking about. He also recorded an album for the strange Autogram label which also featured a new recording ofthis song.

BTW No2 What happened to the Autogram label. I haven't seen any of their stuff rereleased on CD. They wrer a Greman label that released lots of unique albums of Scottish artists among others. As well as Hamish, Iain Macintosh, Eric Bogle, Clive Palmer, Cilla & Artie all recorded for them.

BTW No3 Live at the Star, the Glasgow folk club is puting on, (in conjuncton with the Imlach family), a Hamish Imlach memorial concert. Date will be 14th Feb 2002. I will post more details when I get them.

love, john
