Subject: 2020 Obit: John Milligan From: Johnny J Date: 30 Sep 20 - 11:06 AM I've just read in the local press that John passed away on 16th September. He was a weel kent character in Edinburgh and The Lothians in various circles including theatre, poetry, story telling activities, also as a song writer and frequenter of folkie pubs, clubs, and festivals. One of his best known ditties was "No-one ever reads the Evening News" which we discussed here a few months ago. |

Subject: RE: 2020 Obit: John Milligan (Scotland) From: Tattie Bogle Date: 30 Sep 20 - 02:41 PM Sorry to hear that, Johnny J: he was indeed a "character"! Archie Fisher even wrote a song about him as they lived in the same part of the Scottish Borders, and I believe he was an integral part of the early days of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, as administrator from 1970 -76. |
