Alen. This weekend would have been the Scottish Miner's Gala on Leith Links, but of course the expression Scottish Miner no longer has a physical manifestation. Dick Gaughan would have been there.
Iain. Aaaah. You've opened the door to a wee musical cubby-hole I haven't visited for too long.Who are these cobweb-encrusted figures - Matt McGinn ? Ray Fisher ? The High Level Ranters ? Louis Killen ? Bob Davenport ? Excuse me - I'm off to youchoob.
And the best street party of the year, the Durham Miners' Gala, is yet to come. Keep that red flag flying.

Much though I love Dick Gaughan, I think Big Arthur from the old Glw band, Laggan, did the best version of this one......circa 1970!
