In my pursuit of Scottish folk music history, I have unearthed some more ensembles of yesteryear; has anybody heard of them? Know anything more about them?
The following were finalists in the Scottish Folk Group Championship of 1971: Chordah Cleich - presumably unrelated to Edinburgh 70s outfit Chorda? The Galloways Town Choice Ailsa Craig Eggplant The Gowries Pert & Dobbie ................. The Crofters were a threesome Bill and Eileen Christie and Frank Robb from the Aberdeen area, I think. They recorded an album in 1969 for the Beltona label. ................. All from the mid-1960s: The Three Js (or Jays) from the Crieff/Comrie area The Craig Dhu Three from Glasgow The Tannahill Four from Paisley The Moss Troupers from Paisley ................. I recently added a page on my website for the Joe Gordon Folk Four. To my surprise, shortly afterwards I received an email from Joe himself. The internet is remarkable. -- Nigel Gatherer, Crieff <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Scottish Folk Groups: www.argonet.co.uk/users/gatherer/perf.html Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music & Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
