Various Artists: The Hoot'nanny Show Vol 2 (1964)
There were a number of highly successful folk concerts in Edinburgh in the early 1960s, with many visiting singers and musicians travelling from England and Ireland including Barney McKenna, Luke Kelly (both of The Dubliners), Nadia Cattouse, Roy Guest, The Ian Campbell Folk Group and so on. This album, Hoot'nanny Vol.2, is one of a number of similar releases from this time, and is a gem for those interested in the folk music revival era. The compere of the show was journalist W Gordon Smith.

Hoots mon, I'm looking forward to hearing these Hoot'nanny albums - I dimly recall seeing it on TV about 50 years back. Now I'm in NZ, and actually was involved with the Wellington Folk Festival in the late '80s when we put on Archie Fisher as our main guest. Haven't heard him since. Thanks again. Big John
