This is a new picture I got last week from Shaun Reynolds. You can see the trumpet player on the left is James Gibb as he is in the Catrine Orchestra picture. I scanned this from an original photo. The date and name had been added to the mount in pen and I wonder if it is correct. Thanks Shaun |
The South Siders From right to left: Bill Park, Scoonie Park his uncle, Tom Wilson is behind Scoonie with the washboard then we have Tibbie Hamilton's first wife Morag McMurtrie, then Johnnie McDugald on the tea box bass. Johnnie told me who the other two guitarist were and I can only remember that one of them was Jim Hildritch. I will find out next time I see him. Many thanks to Toni Leitch for this photo.
