I always thought of Hamish as a big rumbustuous singer, as much a comic and entertainer as a singer, until I heard him sing "Black is the Colour" live and was just overwhelmed by his artistry and sensitivity. At my local club, The Star in Glasgow, that is still regarded as "Hamish's song" and it's agreed that he was the finest interpreter of that by those of up lucky enough to have heard him sing.
Happy birthday Hamish
