An interesting article. Many thanks to Ruby! I knew most of them but not in the first photograph!
Good Afteroon. Today I had an email from Willie Matheson, of Ardgay’s widow, May. She wrote that they had music from the BBA at Willie’s Farewell in Perth. I have a few memories of the band as my chum and I used to go to the dances in Bonar and Ardgay in the early 70s. The later photo brings back a few names to memory and it is grand to see Murry Macleod mentioned.
I enclose my email with y married name. I am Margaret A. MacKay from South Balkeith, Fendom, Tain
Just discovered this page…….. I was head of programmes at Moray Firth Radio in the 1980’s and went to Austria with the band in 1987……… I made a radio documentary and took some photos…….. will try and upload a link to the documentary in the next few days……… happy memories……
Part of the documentary won the biggest award in British radio….. a Sony award for the ‘Most creative use of radio’ It was for a visit to a nazi concentration camp. Anyone who knew the band will recognise some of the voices……. http://www.briananderson.me.uk/mauthausen.html
Full documentary coming soon…..
Full documentary and photos now online……. This really should be kept in some sort of sound archive for future generations……. Some great characters in this…… http://www.briananderson.me.uk/Austria87/
