'I presume that poster has never been nearer to Glasgow than their Moscow troll farm anyway. Anybody local would have got the connotations of the way I wrote.'

Jack, you're a rare man. It was (and still is) easier to get a bus from Gweedore to Glasgow than it was (and is) to go to Dublin. In my late teens I spent several weekends in the city, staying with relatives and hitting the town at night. More recently, I've lectured at the university.

My elder brother has reminded me that there was a UK rock magazine in the 80s/90s called 'Select' which used to have a free cassette attached to its cover. Were there any folk magazines which did the same?
