Subject: RE: Folk Musician - Autobiography.
Packie Byrne - Recollections of a Donegal Man
Aly Bain - Fiddler on the Loose - written with Alistair Clark

Not a musician, but Bill Leader's autobiography would be a great addition to the history of "this sort of" music in the UK. (As if he hadn't done enough already!)
