How right you are Villan (got your name right eventually) about the Doonans - a fabulous group of people.
I warmed-up for him at a couple of gigs at the Kloppertje (door knocker) in Amsterdam a Folk cafe/club run by Anne Marie Brandt ,in the very early seventies - '71 - I suppose.
A lovely performer, but there were (it seems) many great (yet unknown) performers in those days and he deserves ALL the success which has visited him. I think at the time ( this'll get my dates sorted ) he was singing at the time.... Pretty little girl, Pretty little girl in a blue dress , Pretty little girl in a blue dress , make my day ....
