Ian was a man we came across from time to time, but not for some years now. We met him at Girvan a few times, but think the last time was about ten years ago when he and Liz came down and stayed over for our annual 'Hooly in Glenrooly' in Galloway.
   He was a fine songwriter as well and wa a a lovely gentle man with no pretensions- he will be missed on the Scottish scene.
