the indelible MIKE RUDD (Chants, Spectrum,Indelible Murtceps,Ariel etc etc)
I mentioned his guitar playing but his harmonica was even better.
Would have loved a copy of 1/2 hour slideshow. Amazing photos from over the years, especially a lengthy composite of Bill Putt.
In the hint was a photo and on the right handside the slide show photo displays a young Mike Rudd
BTW Don McLean was in Wollongong last week for two shows and at 81 was also very good
And I agree, I enjoyed his acoustic performances more than the those with the band

Obituaries and Eulogies / R.I.P. - Dónal Lunny (79)
« Last post by RAM on Sat 24 Oct 2026 15:22:42 »For those who follow Irish folk music, Dónal Lunny will be well known particularly as a member of Planxty, The Bothy Band and Moving Hearts... but his influence was so much greater than that. He passed away yesterday, aged 79.

« Last post by johng on Sat 24 Oct 2026 06:32:32 »I also saw Don McLean at the Coliseum (attached to Rooty Hill RSL) last week - again a partial standup from the audience for Pie. Unfortunately it was performed with full backing band, which tends to maak the limitations of mature performers - but good on the performers for still being motivated (excluding any $$ factor).

My sister saw him in G-Town the other night, and asked if i wanted to go as well but I couldn't make it.
She said it was amazing when everyone stood up and sung the entire American Pie with him !!
