Sleeve Notes

This recording was made in the Spring of 1965, the same year as saw the disbandment of The Corrie Folk Trio. Roy Williamson and Ronnie Brown reformed as The Corries in 1966 and since then they have progressed to become Scotland's top folk duo. They still look back, however, with some nostalgia to the early days of the Trio and Paddie Bell.
