Subject: RE: Origins: The Humblebums & Billy Connolly
Thanks for all the really valuable information.

Dundee, Aberfeldy, Forfar, Aberdeen, Dublin, Paisley, Irvine, Dunoon. Those guys certainly got around. It just goes to show how sturdy the Folk Club scene was back in those days.

I realize it was all a long time ago now but if anyone wants to recount their Connolly/Humblebums stories in more detail you can find me at shughanlan@gmail.com

The other time I saw Connolly in 1972 was again as compere at the UCS benefit show at Green's Playhouse in Glasgow. JSD Band, Gallacher & Lyle and ...gulp...Donovan headlined.
