  • Ann Briggs? Is that THE Ann Briggs?  I listen to her stuff ALL the time.

  • Yes! it is indeed. We were friends for a while. When she did her first comeback concert in the 80's I supported her and played with her on 'Willie O'Winsbury'. She actually recorded for me...singing three-part harmony backing vocals on the track 'Like a Moth to a Flame' on my second album! This track is still available on special order!

    She later moved up to the west coast of Scotland to live and we lost touch. She is a fine person.

  • thanks for keeping the spirit alive

  • @deadlychickenxop hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

  • @oldmanoldman I love this story... and your guitar playing always. A true inspiration of the highest order!

  • @oldmanoldman

    What an experience. I have heard that a recording surfaced of her singing in 1991. I'd like to think that she still sings in the bath or when she's washing the dishes or something. Hopefully the urge to sing is different from the urge to record - which I think is what she had a problem with.

    I came across this video of your because I was trawling performances of this song by Michael Hedges - who I also listen to a lot.

  • This bloke, me Dad knew from year's ago.I met him about 20 years ago. He's much balder now-then he was bald. He has his own style-quite a local hero. This is good-not Jimmy or Dylan. His own stuff is good too-but with all folk artists-ya never gonna be proper famous. Good for us locals. Love to Dick, Pat, Jonie and Sophie.xxxx

  • U from across the pond? If so, you have an amazing grasp of local music...not so much this one, this one is great and I love your take on it...but you played one called, Coming to Chattanooga...I think. Quite impressive...as is everything I have heard from you.

  • took a will to get in to it,but its quility

  • Good Job. Well played.
