Trouble remembering names?

Following on from the above thread, this one is for those who do not need to use names and who can make it perfectly clear who they are talking about by describing, their appearance, their partners, their instrument. What kind of dog they own, where they live, who they are not and many other weird and wonderful details……………It usually works eventually but can get a little complicated, if not a little surreal, if they get one or more of those facts slightly wrong. ………….This thread may also be a good exercise for those who know such people and spend a lot of their time trying to work out who they are talking about?

Here goes……

That Scottish chap, with the funny name that sounds like a cough, you know him, I can see him now. Talks a lot between songs and breaks a lot of strings. You know, used to be in that band, years ago, with that other Scottish bloke what plays the fiddle. They were called 'Something of the something' or something. He reminds me a bit of my Uncle Jim, but without the squint. You must know him, very political, nice bloke too…………
