My mate and I travelled down from Edinburgh for the above concert a couple of years ago.

It was the usual high standard of concert and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

However it was the following morning that you might find amusing.

On the way down for breakie in our Scunny hotel we bumped into this 60 looking grey haired goaty bearded minstrel carrying a guiter case and wearing red cords.

I looked at my mate and said it's not is it?
He looked at me and said it is you know.
To which I said to the minstrel great concert last night.He thanked me which encouraged me to speak further.I ask is it true that you composed the great guitar solo in come up and see me make me smile.?

His reply was priceless " No mate I wrote the song The Rochdale Cowboy"!!!!

It was Mike Harding who suprisingly had been playing Scunny the same night in some other smaller venue.

Jim Cregan would be delighted to know he was mistaken for the "Rochdale Cowboy"!!!!!

Ps We did have a few light refreshments the previous night!!!!
