A tribute Norma Buchan - the man behind the little red book, 101 Scottish Songs, and hugely influential of Scotland's folk revival.

Bob Blair gave me a copy of this video, part of his collection of Stramash related material. I assume that it was only ever broadcast in part of Scotland, having been produced for regional commercial television. It was filmed in The Riverside Club, in Glasgow, a venue well used by folk musicians. It captures much of the atmosphere of a live event. The performers will be familiar to most folk enthusiasts in Scotland, but might need some introduction to those from further afield. The live performers were Archie Fisher, Ray Fisher, Cilla Fisher, Bobby Campbell (fiddle), Anne Neilson, Gordon McCulloch, Adam McNaughtan, Arthur Johnstone and Brian Miller (guitar and mandolin).
