Serious query---I seem to recall Colin Ross being partnered by Ray Fisher [in the "domestic" sense---] Can anyone confirm? Didn't Colin and Ray run a folk program on Radio Metro?[Newcastle] |

They have 3 grown-up kids and several grandchildren. They were in New Zealand a couple of years ago, along with Johnny Handle and a whole bunch of Northumbrian pipers from all around the world. We all had a wonderful time, touring in a bus, giving concerts on the way and finishing at the Auckland Folk Festival. |

He was also involved in workshops - Very nostalgic :0) The "Ranters" seemed to have a great time too. Tom Gilfellan is also very alive and very well. At last years Ewan MacColl Weekend in Salford he sang as well as I can remember.He will be at the 2003 event in September. The "Ranters" seemed to have a great time too. |

Should be interesting! |
