@nagarjuna222able I used to go see Robin at the Bottom Line in the 70's and 80's. Last time was just after the release of Ten Of Songs, and I asked him to play "The Parting Glass" for his last tune. He played in with his Celtic Hat]rp and I was in tears. The room was silent. Glad to know we're all sill here, no-one has gone away! Loveout to ye!

good band

@xrcjpx i saw them for the first time walking towards the folk boat an event on the waverley on the clyde.
i spotted them carrying their instruments and turned to my girlfriend and commented "i should have brought my guitar! how sad
-
These guys were a MAJOR influence on us. Every song completely unique. Great instrumentation, of course. "Ducks on a Pond" was the first song I ever learned! Been trying to emulate them ever since. If you like them, check us out at "The Bairds" We have 7 videos up thus far. I saw Robin at the Bottom Line in NYC - they don't come any more creative.

A very great band.Mike and Robin are marvellous musiciens.And,I think,Robin is in the Guinest record for the most instruments he can play!!I'm a FAN!!
-
What was so good about them was that they seemed to play because they enjoyed playing not because it was a performance. That rubbed off on the audience - watching them was a joy.
-
@xrcjpx WOW.... Gong and ISB together. That would BLOW MY MIND.
-
Extraordinary! Rose on organ and Mike on bass- I didn't expect that- but what a great version of a song Mike still dusts down, from time to time.
-
Those were the days !
Really a magic decade.
Everyone was positve, creative and loving. Now we just have the memories

Check out the heavy rock version (also 1970) of the ISB's "Maybe Someday" by legendary rock band (also from Edinburgh) HUMAN BEAST. Google away!

yes, a great band...met Clive in London (suburb) in 1974 while hitching thru Europe and saw ISB in Boston '71 and went to a party afterwards in some large colonial style house in Cambridge...where else did I see them?
Oh Woodstock '69...and Holy shit I forgot...but also saw them with the KInks...and at the Hammersmith with BeBop Deluxe, Fairport Convention, Gong, 10CC and..???? thanks great

yes,this is a pretty great example of how they could reinvent a song that was already really good - a thing they did many times live, but not always with this kind of success, and liqorice is especially good on this - martin.
