Kilts 'n' Co-op Sandals
Formed by Alison Duncan (who started the Dunoon Folk Club in the late 1970s) when she was asked to do a Fringe show. She recruited local songwriter Iain Ingram (best known for his song Annie McKelvie), Iain Williams and Malcolm Currie. After the Edinburgh shows they got a few gigs and made a cassette, and featured on Archie Fisher's 'Parade' series for Radio Tweed. Iain Williams died a few years ago; Malcolm Currie moved on; Alison Duncan still lives in Dunoon and Iain Ingram lives in Bearsden, still writing songs and doing a little performing. Ingram made a CD a couple of years ago, Words o Fiction.
