Subject: RE: Obit: singer-songwriter Colin Wilkie (1934-2020) From: GUEST,Hootenanny Date: 18 Oct 20 - 03:15 PM Always sad to hear of the loss of an old friend. I used to book Colin and Shirley into the Ballads and Blues Club until they moved to Germany. They were always a joy to work with. Did they return to the U.K? |

And "Icy Acres" was a favourite song in my a cappella harmony singing world. Thanks for your music. Vale, Colin. R-J (down under) |
