Was waiting for this video to drop ever since I saw the news item about Boston. Garron doesn’t disappoint.

28 years of waiting for our Scottish friends come to an end on Sunday morning, as the World Cup gets underway tonight!

After the wonderful moments we all enjoyed in the city two years ago, here's hoping for more magic and an Archie Gemmill moment for this generation! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #effzeh

David is a good guy and a staunch indy activist currently going through a thoroughly rotten time and deserves any bit of hauners you can offer. https://t.co/6rMhQJgb4d

@Oztiger57 @YouTube @tartannettles07 @rainbowsr4shar1 Nice. Saw Sonny with Buddy Guy but never did get to see Freddie King. Shame, tho it'd have been wasted on me back in the day ... by the time I 'got' Freddie it was way too late.

🐯 RIP John Hammond Jr 🦘🐯 saw him some years ago..@tartannettles07 @rainbowsr4shar1 😃

[Al Brand @AlBrand64]

@Oztiger57 @YouTube @tartannettles07 @rainbowsr4shar1 I remember someone asking about the slide he used. He talked about folk like Ry Cooder using medicine bottles & panicing when they heard the packaging was changing ... which was why he used socket wrenches cos "If I lose one there are auto parts stores everywhere".

[Al Brand @AlBrand64]

@Oztiger57 @YouTube @tartannettles07 @rainbowsr4shar1 Saw him a handfull of times in Scotland but the first time was at the Cambridge Folk Festival and it totally changed my outlook on what you could do with 1 guitar. As for his workshop that w/e with Alexis Korner ... sublime! 1/2

[Bonnie Raitt @TheBonnieRaitt]

I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of my friend and inspiration, John Hammond, Jr. From the first time I heard him on the first blues album I bought, Blues at Newport ‘63 on Vanguard Records, I was just knocked out and have felt that way about him ever since.

(1/5)

RT @JBONAMASSA: Rest in peace John . I will never forget how kind you were to me over the years. The first time I met him was New Year's…

[Al Brand @AlBrand64]

@Midge1415 Happy to oblige. Your turn next 👍

I think we haven’t come to terms yet with the reality that every day now something happens that 20 years ago would have been a career-ending global scandal.

Our culture has sunk into incredible depths of complacent cruelty and moral degeneracy.

Nigel Farage has kindly asked we stop sharing this video of him talking about why we should privatise the NHS 💙

You know what to do!
