Look out Tonder - here we come!

They wont know what hit them!

When Hamish played at the Tonder festival in Denmark he could see and appreciate all of the hard work that the volunteers, who pretty much run everything, put in.



True to form Hamish loved to put back into the business that gave him so much pleasure and with this in mind, he started a tradition which has run for 30 years now and is now continued by his daughters, that being the "curry crew".

What better way than to thank all 2000 volunteers with a huge curry of truly gigantic proportions! one can only guess at how many onions will be chopped and tears will be shed during the construction of this behemoth feast! Included in the ranks of volunteer vegetable choppers will be the Imlach girls - yes both Mairead and Fiona will be brandishing sharpened knives....

God help us.

Cod Liver Oil And The Orange Juice

Due to popular demand and a serious amount of hassling from interested people is the second edition hot off the press of Hamish's autobiography "Cod Liver Oil And The Orange Juice".

This book does go some way to explaining why Hamish was such a larger than life figure - in more than one way!

It is both hilarious and sad at times and chronicles the life of a hard working and hard playing folk singing legend.

It is for sale at the bargain price of £8.00 plus P&P and can be ordered via email here fatfolksinger@gmail.com

Welcome to Hamish's Blog.....

Welcome to the Hamish Imlach blog page.

Fiona Imlach is one of Hamish's four children and has started this blog to share with you the life and times of her father. hopefully others will contribute to this blog and share their own experiences of Hamish too for everyone to enjoy!

Were not sure whether Hamish would have ever got his head around all of this "techno mumbo jumbo" and I'm not sure we are quite up to it either but lets see how it goes and have some fun.
