matt mcginn, i'll never forget the first time i met him, we were standing at the side of the rothesay pavilion stage in1970, and he was steamin drunk, anyway, he went off to play, when he came back, after he had played, i asked him if he would like a whisky, he answered yes, so i asked him if he would like water in it, and he answered, "whats the good in starting a fire and then putting it oot?" classic matt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
