Just like you, Harvey, I owe so much to Ian and the group for leading me in such interesting musical directions all those years ago. Only in the last few days, I came across one of John Dunkerly's old handwritten set lists which had somehow found its way amongst junk in one of my old guitar cases. Ian once told me that when he and John worked together in the Birmingham jewellery quarter, John helped to develop his natural pitch by listening to the chiming of a clock in the workshop day after day.
Mansell Davies, who played bass with the Campbells, began with The Settlers and moved on to The Corries (in the days when they were four).I shared a couple of flats with him, and we did the odd few gigs together. He told me you were playing at his club in Calgary ,Harvey, when I emailed him a while ago. Sounds like a great place to play, modelled on Mansell's recollcted image of the old Jug of Punch, so I'm told. My, how the strands weave and tangle!
