Mammoth fan of bands like Oasis, Stone Roses, Kasabian, Radiohead etc. But there is something about the Corries that gets me like no other artists, and I'm 16 :)
It was the 20th anniversary of Roy's death on 12th August. I was lucky enough to see them many many times all though my teenage years. The first time I saw them I was only 10, over 40 years ago. I sill miss Roy and listen to the Corries music often. Thanks Linda for uploading all the brilliant songs.
Thanks so much for sharing. This is my favourite comedy song. Heard first in the seventies when a Scottish friend sent to me in a cassette. It is even better to see such great performance. ....Dr. Lee
Roy Williamson died around about 1990. His partner Ronnie Brown still sings Flower of Scotland (written by Roy) at the Scottish football matches but as far as I know doesn't perform on his own. RW was a big loss. Gutted I never got to see them perform.
@Chewy7575 Hey, yeah, Ronnie doesn't do much (he must be getting up there himself and ready to retire) but he has done things solo since Roy was lost. My dad has a few CDs and a couple downloaded TV things. He's still out there, just not often.
@Chewy7575 Actually, Ronnie still performs, or did for a while, at least. Search his name on YT. I especially like his version of Loch Lomond, and The Earl of Moray. Enjoy, I sure did.
They are both Gifted.

I like Roy's version of this better than anyone else's. His is musical, and his facial expressions delightful.

The original was, of course, Gerard Hoffnung's Bricklayer's Lament back in 1958!
