about

Also known as: "I Can't Play the Concertina Blues". Nick was a really good instrumentalist and this is the man himself on blues harp (moothie). It's just a wee coda to the album but it's one of the best of these little musical indulgencies which crept on to the end of our albums. Incidentally, Nick did learn how to play the concertina but we all reckoned by then that we didn't need to clone the old "McCalmans", because the new one was working just fine.

Nick on mouth harp and Derek and Ian play guitars, maybe Nick as well.
No-one owns up to this one.
