Well Topsy, I have my suspicions about your identity but I'm not going to commit myself yet. I'm not sure if you threw in a red herring earlier on to get me off the scent.

Now if you can answer this trivia question about me it may confirm things. I was bought a mandolin for my 18th birthday. Who did it belong to before that?

As for my history - I stayed in Dudley until 1984 then moved to Hull. Started Cottingham Folk Club in 1985 which I continued to run until 1994. Then started working as one half of a Celtic-Rock pub duo called The Ballistic Brothers initially but later changed to False McCoy. We have continued to get fairly regular gigs over the last six years playing in pubs, golf clubs, weddings etc. I play fiddle, guitar and mandola.

Cheers - Captain Swing
