Hi Geoff,

The reason this one looks like my last post is because, at that time you couldn't log on from multiple sites and be recognised. Hence the Guest and "at work". Now I can log on both home and away.

After the crematorium (where the music was by Willie Nelson, [on tape]), we went back to Motherwell Civic Hall, and a concert ensued with The Dubliners, John Martyn, Allan Taylor and many other friends of Hamish's, Danny, Iain, Arthur, Phil, myself and many others.

I played from the 70s - 90s in a band called Diggery Venn, and we used to perform a lot of double bills in Scotland with Hamish, and many other solo artists, (we were a band with a PA and a good looking female vocalist).

I don't remember Tommy, Ben or Colum being there but that might just be my disfunctional memory. My sound man and bass player, Ian, did the PA on the night, and made a DAT for the family, so I'm sure he will know for sure.

Will be in touch once I've talked to Ian.
