Thread Name: Memories of Johnny Collins
Subject: RE: Memories of Johnny Collins
I was privileged to work with Johnny many times, and we became good friends. There are so many occasions, but one legendary time still sticks in my mind.

I was at the Haddenham Ceilidhs with Peeping Tom (prob in the 90s) and they got him up to do a song with them. The Carter Lad i think, but he donned Pete's Stratocaster, and somebody found him a black leather jacket, and he launched into the song with the Peeps thundering away behind. No slouch on the leccy guitar either. And the Collins glint in the eye of course. Magical.
