Death of a friend

I met Brian Murray in the mid 1990s when I was seconded from the IT Services department at St Andrews to the University Library to look after their expanding numbers of PCs used by both staff and students. 

Brian was one of the full-time book shelvers and he and I would sit together at coffee break time in the staff room in the library basement. He always had a plastic box with sandwiches, one of which he would have with his coffee to keep him going until lunchtime. On Fridays we would often go along to one of the pubs on The Scores for a pint of beer and a bowl of chips. 

I don't know how long he had been working at the Library but I'm fairly sure he had worked elsewhere earlier in his working life, possibly in the armed forces. 

Libraries often employ more women than men and this was certainly true of the university library back in the 90s. I think Brian was pleased to find another bloke to chat to, albeit someone a good 20 years younger than he was. The job of a shelver was quite a solitary occupation, pushing your trolley round the quiet floors of the library. Most shelvers worked part-time, some of them being students, and Brian might well have been the only full-timer. 

I would occasionally bump into him coming out of the lift as I was one of the few other members of staff who had access to the lifts, though for me it was moving computer equipment around the building rather than books. 

When I left the university in 2002 Brian can't have been far off retirement. He was the only person in the library who I kept in touch with - we sent Christmas cards to each other every year with the usual brief messages with bits of news. I was saddened to hear that his wife Jean passed away a couple of years back. I never met her but he always spoke of her with affection. I suspect she made the sandwiches for him every morning and would have his tea waiting for him when he got home after a hard day of shelving books.

I posted a card to him just a few days ago but something told me that I might not get one back this year. I did a search on him today and found that he had indeed passed away in the summer.

It was a pleasure knowing you Brian. You were a real gent. RIP.

Recommended Releases 2025

It's time to do my usual round-up of folk, acoustic and roots music released this year by artists who I have played on my Off The Beaten Tracks show on Ginger Feather FM. For a change I've done a Top Five favourites followed by ten more recommended releases. 

As for live music, highlights have included The Young 'Uns and SykesMartin at the Victoria Hall in Settle and Chris Wood at the village hall in Ulpha. I was at the Warwick Folk Festival in July and heard excellent sets from Richard Thompson, Granny's Attic, Banter, Benji Kirkpatrick and Fara. 

In these post-Covid days, online gigs are still very much a thing with Folkscape and Live To Your Living Room broadcasting various acts from venues up and down the country. Best live-streamed gig of the year for me was Daphne's Flight. Sadly it was their farewell tour. 

Thanks as ever to Citizen K for keeping things going at Ginger Feather FM and to the promoters who have sent me occasional promo copies of new releases. And thanks to you out there for tuning in to GF FM or listening on Mixcloud and reading what I post on this blog.

So my Top 5 of 2025 is...

Daphne's Flight - Favourable Light
Piers Faccini & Ballaké Sissoko - Our Calling
I’m With Her - Wild and Clear and Blue
Alison Krauss & Union Station - Arcadia
Iona Lane - Swilkie 

...and 10 more Recommended Releases

Culverake - Unto The Sky
Flook - Sanju
Gigspanner Big Band - Turnstone
Granny's Attic - Cold Blows The Wind
Toby Hay - New Music For The 6 String Guitar
Jaywalkers - Move On
Steve Knightley - Positively Folk Street
Reg Meuross - Fire & Dust : A Woody Guthrie Story

McNab Family History

Our great-grandfather Alexander McNab died on the 21st March 1909 in London.
He left £337 (£51,000 in today's money) 

Details from the 1911 Census: 

The family were living at 39 Cranwich Road, Stamford Hill

Jemima – Head of household (48). Widowed. She died later that year.

The six children were aged Annie (21), Andrew (20), Lena (18), James (16), Elizabeth (12), Alastair (2)

Annie worked as a typewriting clerk while Andrew and James worked as billposting clerks, all three in advertising.

Elizabeth was at school and they had a lodger – Percy Jackson (27) a music student.

Of the six siblings I have discovered the following...

Annie Bruce McNab

Annie married an American named Charles Ellery on the 18th April 1913
Charles was from Isle of Wight, Virginia, USA
The 1891 census shows him living in Ryde, Hampshire and in 1901 &1911 living in Beckenham, Kent. Charles did military service from 1914 to 1920

Their daughter Joan Ellery was born on the 25th August 1920

Joan died on the 3rd August 1970

 

Andrew McNab

Born on the 12th January 1891 in the Plantation district of Glasgow, Lanarkshire

1891 census shows the family address as 100 Paisley Road, Govan

Andrew died on the 6th March 1913 in London aged 22

 

Lena McNab

Lena married Walter Hunter Thorburn in January 1918

Uncle Hunter was born on the 7th October 1884 at Innerleithen

A club cricketer for Peebleshire, he made his debut in first-class cricket for Scotland against Ireland at Perth in 1909. He played first-class cricket for Scotland until 1912, making a further three appearances against Ireland and one against the touring Indians.

Daughter Eileen was born on the 1st April 1919 in Peebles and died in 2000

Son Alistair was born in 1926 and died in 1989

Hunter died on the 27th March 1957 in Peebles

Lena died on the 22nd August 1941

James Miller McNab 

James emigrated to Canada on the 28 May 1913 aged 18 arriving in Quebec, with his final destination being Winnipeg. Occupation: clerk.

He married Agnes Chisholm Blackwood on 18 May 1916 in Winnipeg

Daughter Muriel Agnes (known as Mollie) born 12 December 1920

Daughter Leanna Bernice born on the 10th August 1930 in Vancouver

Mollie married George Russell Brealey on the 18th April 1944
Mollie died on the 6th February 1990 in Vancouver

Leanna married George James Allin 1930-2019. Records on Ancestry show 4 children but their names are hidden. These are the only possible second cousins I have come across so far.  

Leanna died 16 Dec 1997 at Creston, British Columbia

Elizabeth McNab

Born in 1899 in Glasgow 

Married James Bertram on the 6th October 1926 in Peebles.

Danny Thompson tribute show

Last month we lost one of the great characters of British jazz and folk music namely Danny Thompson, best known for having been in the late 60s band Pentangle and for his collaborations with John Martyn and Richard Thompson. He played double bass on a mind-blowing number of albums and this show includes some favourites of mine along with tracks from one or two albums which I have only recently discovered by Eric Bibb and Ralph McTell. 

I saw Danny about half a dozen times as a member of Richard Thompson's band, sometimes just the two of them, other times with drummers Dave Mattacks or Michael Jerome and the multi-instrumentalist Pete Zorn. 

So farewell Danny and thanks for all the music played on the instrument described in the sleeve notes to Ian McNabb's 1998 ...Emotional Party album as "circa 1860 Grand French swell-backed double bass 'Victoria'".

Blues mix for Max Haymes

I first met Max when I got involved with the community radio station Diversity FM. Max did his show on a Monday afternoon and occasionally I would cover for a guy called Reza whose show preceded Max's. I would normally end my hour with a blues track knowing that Max would be in the other studio waiting to take to the airwaves and I would listen to see what comment he would make. But while Max's expertise and love of the blues was the music of the early 20th century, I was more into guitarists who I had discovered in the 1980s like Robert Cray and those who to me were the older generation like BB King and Buddy Guy.

This mix features old blues which hopefully Max would have approved of from the likes of Big Bill Broonzy and Oscar Woods up to the new generation of blues musicians like Jackie Venson and Errol Brown. Listen on Mixcloud to my Blues Mix for Max.

Thanks Max, for giving me a window into a world of early blues which I may not have got round to checking out. Rest in Peace.

Jackie Venson - Down By The Riverside / Up Above My Head

Ted Hawkins - Peace & Happiness

One More Card

No more birthday cards to buy, no more Mother's Days to remember
One less Christmas card to send, no going shopping for presents 

She liked her long hot baths so bubble bath or bath salts
Were guaranteed to bring a smile to her face 

One time I bought her a cd of a singer from long ago
My aunt told me that mum had been a fan way back when

But when she unwrapped the disc there was a look
Of puzzlement, of disappointment.

I said, "your sister told me you'd really liked his music"
"Oh did she", replied mum. The cd was gone the next time I was home.

The care home had kept all the cards I'd sent her over the years
They gave me them back. Odd to see them again.

Birthdays, Xmas, Easter, Mothering Sunday, a postcard from Shetland
And a few cards just sent to say hello, I'm thinking of you.

She's gone now. End of life care led to the inevitable end of her life.
Will I see you in heaven? sing the Jayhawks. I don't know.

I miss her. Can I buy her just one more card? Please?
But others buy With Sympathy cards and send them to me.

A Mournful Ditty

A poem written by my grandfather William "Jock" Kay and included in his book Kay-otic Rhymes which was published in 1938. He lived in Hong Kong from 1913 until 1939, working as a school teacher and then Headmaster at Ellis Kadoorie School for Chinese Boys before moving on to be Headmaster at King's College. 

It was said of him, "Jock Kay had a lively wit and a prolific pen: he may not have been a great poet, but he excelled as a parodist and in humorous, though friendly, satire." 

I read this poem at my mother's funeral in Edinburgh on Tuesday the 3rd June 2025.

Remembering John Sykes

Sad to hear of the passing of former Thin Lizzy and Whitesnake guitarist John Sykes. Here are my recollections of seeing him with Lizzy back in '83. This is an extract from my 2012 ebook "Drum Solos, Bottles and Bands - Memories of a Concert-Goer 1981-1999". 

Thin Lizzy

The Playhouse, Edinburgh

17 March 1983

While I was a fan of many of the rock bands that were in the charts in the 70s I wasn't sure about the heavier bands. I liked the odd song by Black Sabbath and Deep Purple but I was reluctant to splash out on one of their albums. In the school holidays I used to go down to Lancashire and stay with a friend's family for a week. He knew I liked rock music and tried to get me interested in some of the heavy metal he was into. He played me a Whitesnake album on one occasion but my reaction was that while the music was okay I didn't really like the singer.

So I stuck with the familiar sounds of Queen and Thin Lizzy and on St Patrick's Day in 1983 Phil Lynott brought the final line-up of Lizzy to Edinburgh on the Thunder and Lightning tour. Snowy White had left the band and been replaced by former Tygers of Pan Tang guitarist John Sykes. Watching footage of that line-up there is a striking contrast between the youthful exuberance of Sykes bouncing around the stage and the ashen-faced, weary looking Scott Gorham. The drug taking of Lynott and Gorham has been well documented but what is noticeable is how in control Lynott looked on stage, still loving every minute of being Lizzy's frontman. Despite it now being the best part of thirty years on, that night in Edinburgh remains one of my favourite gigs of all time. Support came from the young Irish band Mama's Boys but the night belonged to Lizzy. Lynott had the audience eating out of the palm of his hand. Highlights included 'Jailbreak', complete with police lights spinning round behind Brian Downey's drum kit during the instrumental break, and 'Emerald' played in the encore and dedicated to St Patrick.

It was one of rock music's great tragedies that Phil Lynott's life pretty much fell apart after Thin Lizzy disbanded. He had some success with Gary Moore on the 'Out in the Fields' single and formed the band Grand Slam which briefly included Brian Downey. But by all accounts he had simply done too much damage to his body with the drink and drugs. He died on the 4th of January 1986 of pneumonia and multiple organ failure. Tommy Vance presented a tribute show to Phil Lynott on his BBC Radio 1 Friday Rock Show with various members of Thin Lizzy sharing memories of their former band leader, and each one dedicated a song to him. Brian Robertson in particular sounded very emotional and chose 'Still In Love With You'. I had come home early from the pub that Friday to hear the show and I will admit to shedding a few tears myself. With Lynott's passing we had lost one of the great rock talents of the 70s and early 80s.

The following year I started getting more into the hard rock and heavy metal scene, reading Kerrang! and buying a leather biker's jacket off a friend at work and I was even starting to see the appeal of Whitesnake. This was partly due to the fact that John Sykes had joined them after Thin Lizzy split and Cozy Powell now occupied the drum seat vacated by the equally impressive Ian Paice. So I gave David Coverdale's voice another listen and went to see them on their Slide It In tour in February 1984.
