Diplomatic as ever and well said Malcolm!
I hope that, some day, I'll be able to her my uncle, Willie Mitchell from Campbeltown, who was featured in issue 70 (or there abouts)
I have never heard his voice since he visited my parents in Ballacheulish in the early sixties. He came up from Campbelltown, with his wife, in a tandom.
He wrote "Road to Drumlemmin" which has oft been recorded, but he recorded "Florie Loinichan" for the School of Scottish Studies at the time this article was recorded. This was a song which epitomised the kintyre dilect at the turn of the last century
