They performed mainly Scottish, Irish and American material and played in local folk clubs in the late 1960s. Doug Carrie also occasionally performed with singer Heather McKenzie. The group had split by 1970.
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.
