| Notes | Female Scottish MC ??Ray Fisher introduces the Caisleys as “Nicko, Billy, Tom and their Old Man Vice-Chairman, no, Vice President of the Society”. This tends to confirm the 1970 date as Colin was elected a VP in 1969. MC says this is Joe Hutton’s second set, suggesting this is the second half of the concert. Joe Hutton also plays the No Place Like Home variation on NPS-JFC-A-001-01-13 – given its rarity, possibly the same year? MD | |||||||
