I played on the same bill as Hamish in the 60's at Arbroath. He was a hell of a run ashore!! Luckily I met hime before I met Billy Connolly so I was fit to drink BIG TIME.
Luckily for me I perform sober now - but I would LOVE to meet Hamish just one more time and tell him how much he influenced me and how much I STILL enjoy his songs.
Yes he did, in his sleep on the 1st January 1990 aged 55, just 6 weeks short of his birthday, 10th February.
In my comments from early 2010 I was saying that I was grateful for the contribution he made to my development as a young man! A hoot of the FIRST order!
Perhaps I will meet him again if there is an afterlife and if we both end up in thew same place
The other dude is Archie Fisher. I only met Hamish once when I did a floor spot at a folk club he was playing. I also had some guitar lessons from Davy Graham, but he was only interested in Classical guitar by then!
@anglinthemtns Hi, someone has uploaded the whole of this documentary now so you'll be able to see it all. I think it was filmed in the early 90s. The documentary is called "Acoustic Routes". It mainly features Bert. :-)
I think this came from a great BBC doco from early 90s. Should hopefully be able to get it on DVD from them. Wasn't it part of a late night Arts prog on BBC2?
It's from ACOUSTIC ROUTES. Please write to the BBC and ask them to put this out on DVD. I have - The more voices- The more chance this will happen. It was an amazing documentary. Can get the cd of some of the music from it which say "The film was a Red Herring Production made in association with The Scottish Film Production Fund and BBC Scotland."
Ahh that actor guy! loool

Hamish was a friend of my parents. I was a kind when he died. God bless him and Kate.
