I was sittin' and thinkin', Collin Scott or "Scotty" to those who new him well, made as far as I know two LP's.Does any of you Catters know what they were and what was one them and if they are still available.I met him a few times,last was with big Hamish Imlach in Amsterdam. (but that's entirley an other story!!!! Enough said.only to say it included copious amount of Beer and Vodka....)I would be happy for any help. Phil Jackson. (Scouse)

I really thought that every one who remembered him had heard about Scotty dying. It's so sad to hear at the news at a later date. Years ago I had some hard nights with Scotty(60's). The last was with Hamish Imlach at Mulligans Irish Pub in Amsterdam,that must have been around 93/94. Hamish was booked to do a Folk Workshop,instead it ended up as a riotious Drinkin' bout with music and song thrown in for good measure.Oh,yes I remember him well.Many of the real characters on the folk scene have moved on to the "Session Upstairs", Alex Campbell,Derroll Adams,Danny Kyle,Hamish Imlach and Scotty.God,I'd like to be fly on the wall with that lot together.Let's keep their memory fresh in our minds.......

Real sad to hear of Scotty's death.
I sadly hadn't seen or heard of him since the end of the sixties.
I am racking the old brain cells to think of the title of song he did that I really liked .... got it 'Continental Trailways Bus'.
Colin had a great voice and a driving guitar style. I will be in touch with Mike Chapman later and I'll pass on the sad news, he Brimstone and Colin were good mates.

Alan, hopefully someone will come in here and talk about him. If you have any info would you please post it? Some of us are still learning who is who and, while I know a few songs of Allan Taylor's, I am not at all in the know about Colin Scot. Let's use the thread to teach and learn. I, for one, am interested....it's part of why I come to the Mudcat.

Thanks,

kat

Not this weekend, apparently.

Sad.

I discovered today from Derek Brimstone that Colin Scot died in Amsterdam some months ago. I don't think Colin had been back to the UK for a number of years, but I, for one, have fond memories of him back in the 60's and early 70's.

In recent years his reputation and notoriety were assured by Allan Taylor's song "Crazy Amsterdam" which describes visiting Scotty.

"Scotty, you're a terrible man, a rambling shambling Desperate Dan... "
