CORRIE RON TO BOW OUT Aug 16 2002

SCOTS folk legend Ronnie Browne has shocked his fans by suddenly retiring. Ronnie said he has played his last gig and insisted there will be no comeback. Ronnie and Roy Williamson, who died 12 years ago, made up the Corries and will always be linked with the nationalist anthem Flower of Scotland.

Ronnie, 65, said: "I am happy to bow out quietly."
