The Humblebums - Why Don't They Come Back to Dunoon?

Billy Connolly and Tam Harvey sing in this programme recorded in late 1968 or early 1969 off air from a broadcast show entitled "My Kind of Folk", hosted on this occasion by Archie Fisher.

There was some interference in the radio reception, which affected the quality of the recording.

I've still got this album that Billy and Tom signed for me in 1967 or 8 when they appeared at the Windmill Hotel, Arbroath.

I'm not a good guitarist and I'm a crap banjo player  even now - but I was a bloody sight worse back then! But they used to let me get up and make an arse of myself every week without fail!

Billy and Tom were SO pissed on the second occasion they were at the Windmill that Billy sort of fell asleep in the wings while they were being introduced and Tom walked on by himself!

@robsargent4 well... coming from essex myself, i can without a doubt tell you that the average of good singers where you come from is a lot higher than the average where i come from... haha. we're seriously bad!

@louiecostello I think you're mistaken in thinking all Scottish & Irish people have lovely singing voices - most of us can't sing for toffee!

[louiecostello]

my god thats painful! billy does however have a lovely singing voice. but only really in the same way that all irish and scottish people do

It's like their equivalent to Morrissey's 'Everyday Is Like Sunday'.

Jonathan King's 'Everyone's Gone To The Moon' must seriously have wound up Billy Connolly at that time!
