Looking forward to meeting you Davie will bring my autograph book ( Have heard you play ) Donny, don't want to impose on you, would love to stay a night but if it is any trouble I have a big old van and can catch some ZZZZ's in there.......
I am committed to looking after Eithne since she has lost her mobility and to leave her for two days is a lot but, the reinforcements i have called in assure me that all is well and i can go so, Whoop-De-Doo see you soon :)

It was a pleasure to meet and hear John Davis tonight at the SSGW in Gartcosh. John belted out some great tunes and enjoyed some of our unique banter to boot. Video camera. Was rolling and I'm sure we will get something on here soon. Well played to the rest of the Brethren of the Bar too. Great fun. :)
