I've probably come a bit late to this thread but I remember (back in the 60's) people predicting a great night 'cos Alex Campbell was coming. Turning up in anticipation and having crossed paths with him several times in subsequent years, I must admit to always feeling underwhealmed. So, to those of you who admit to never having heard of him, I don't think you missed that much.

.... and whilst this thread is open, is anyone else sick of Jim Caroll banging on about Ewan McColl? I only met him once; not many years before his death. I spent some hours with him before and after the concert we played and found that he (and Peggy) was a pleasant and approachable person, not some god as some might have us believe.
