Alex Campbell
by Ewan McVicar - Issue 22 July/August '97

"Alex Campbell was the most important and influential folksinger of the folksong revival in Europe, admired, respected and loved by his fellow performers and his audiences. An outrageous, hard drinking, hard travelling, hard living man."

Clare Lappin has been working away quietly to confirm Patrons for Common Ground Scotland. “I am delighted to be able to report that we have secured the support of three high profile performers, Eric Bogle, Colum Sands and Roy Bailey, who have agreed to become patrons of Common Ground Scotland. The patronage of such big names will undoubtedly raise the profile of Common Ground and so enable us to share our experience with a greater number of people.”
