Back in 1974, The Boys of the Lough, plus their guests Alison Kinnaird and Gaelic singer Flora McNeil did a tour. Looking back now, such a tour, with good publicity, posters and leaflets, was a relative rarity on the folk scene. Common now of course. I guess that this was all down to Robin. We had them in Crewe in Cheshire: all fondly remembered. I also remember Robin with John Maguire at the Loughborough Folk festival in about 1973, just before the book was published, Come Day, Go Day, God Send Sunday, with the accompanying LP on the leader label. Perhaps the same year I bought Folksongs of Ulster. Sad news and condolences to the family.
