Tonight it gives me the greatest of pleasures to announce that the legendary Ralph McTell, will also be joining us for Hoolie. Ralph, is still one of Billy's closest friends, and what a way to round off his 80th birthday than by helping celebrate his old pal, The Big Yin. ❤️

Tonight I was meant to be having dinner with the First Minister. It was postponed due to Storm Floris, and so instead I have been forced into a make-up trial, which has me looking a cross between William Wallace and a Smurf! Remember, storm damage doesn’t just happen outside! 🤣
