I left Glasgow when I was 12 and this brings me right back! I LOVE this song. She wusney dancin, its just the way she wiz stonnin!

Bryan Chadwick

What a legacy. This one song alone, funniest thing I've ever sung along to. Every morning. Yes, every morning when I get my omega 3 and vitamin C hit to keep me healthy. As I shamble to the fridge at half six every morning - all together now "Now oot 'o th'east, there came a hard man..." LOVE IT. Cheers Hamish, God rest.

Absolutely love this. I met Hamish once away back in the late 60s in Glasgow city center only for a few minutes and I am glad I did. He was a great guy.
