About forty years ago, I was hitch-hiking back to Edinburgh from an Inverness Folk Festival, when I got picked up by 3/4 of Boys of the Lough in a Mini. Fortunately it was Robin, Cathal and Aly so they didn't have too much space dedicated to instruments, but I had my rucksack and guitar. Don't think I could do it now. A year or two preiously I left Sandy Bell's in a Mini with seven other people!
