Rob 5th February 2021

Met him first in Aberdeen in the Shegui days when they were gigging the Around The World For Sport album, and hit it off from the start. Painted the Royal Mile red with him on many an occasion, tumbling afterwards into the shop / makeshift shebeen to continue the high hilarity and music until stupid o'clock. He was an original, and did so much for the folk/trad world. Do they allow concertinas where he is? :-) Deepest sympathies, Adele. Thanks for making the service available online. So hard in these times. Just like your wedding, it was a benchmark for honest and meaningful ritual! And the music brought a tear to a glassy eye. Rob and Elspeth. x
