Will try and acess that CHAPBOOK photo Jim. If not will be touch for copy.

Any idea where I can find the Aberdeen snap Kenny? Lived in digs in Aberdeen for a time in 1974. Didn't see any bands due to working shifts in the Wiggins Teape papermill in Bucksburn.

Thanks for the information about his stage repertoire. I recall his between songs patter going down better than the actual songs themselves.

I too was at The Grangemouth Pop Festival in 1972 (back living there now actually). What a desperate affair that was! If memory serves me well Connolly was a sort of compere along with John Peel. Vaguely remember watching Lindisfarne, Status Quo and a guy in the audience becoming gradually submerged in an ocean of discarded beer cans.
