Pete Seeger - ditto and later at The Howff.
Eric Bogle - anytime, anywhere.
Iain McKintosh - again anytime, anywhere but especially in a little village near Frankfurt where, when I appeared, he forgot the words of the song he was singing!
Taffy Thomas MBE - either with The Salamis or on his own as a storyteller.
The McCalmans, particularly at a concert to mark World Aids Day in 1992 in Niddrie Mains Community Centre, Edinburgh, when, after a fire alarm which emptied the centre, they resumed their spot with "Fire Down Below".
