Malcolm

No I don't know you Malcolm but I might have seen you around. I don't play in public - no where near good enough yet. Only recently started going to folkie events mainly The Robin Hood Thursday nights to Bob Hazlewoods Events. Pauline Cato and Andy Irvine were both brilliant. Do you play any instruments?

Mary

you did see the song and track notes from Liam O'Flynn's "The Given Note" CD ? it was on the tara records website and I have pasted it below.

4. Farewell To Govan

This tune was composed by Phil Cunningham as the theme for Bill Bryden's Glasgow stage production of "The Big Picnic". It is one of several which Phil very kindly sent to me while I was preparing material for this album.
