Quite a challenge!
Also Cyril Tawney - anytime, anywhere. Big Bill Broonzy - Usher Hall Edinburgh, Fifties. 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". Davy Stewart - my living room, Cumbernauld, mid 70's Dominic Behan - Cottage Theatre, Cumbernauld, 70's. Vera Johnston - ditto. Barbara Dickson - ditto. Bert Lloyd - ditto The Spinners - ditto. Ewan & Peggy - ditto. Carthy & Swarbrick - ditto. The Fureys - ditto. Barry Skinner - ditto. The Humblebums - ditto., Jean Redpath - Cumbernauld Burns Club 70's. Boys of the Lough - ditto (when there was only Robin & Cathal). Ted Furey - Edinburgh Festival, late 70's. Willie Scott - Newcastleton Village Hall when a friend who was accompaning "The Kielder Hunt" on the hunting horn fell on to the stage. Tom Paxton - Glen Echo Folk Festival, Washington DC, 1997 Anyone else I might have missed.
