A very rough copy, but here's me singing Michael Marra's "Hamish". The song is about Hamish McAlpine, the inspiring goalkeeper for Michael's beloved Dundee United during their peak years in the Scottish league. The song was written for the player's testimonial. When Michael played this to me, I knew I had to record it. The words are brilliant: " ...a European tie in the pouring rain, Gus Foy pointed to the side of the goal, sayin' there's Grace Kelly by Taylor Brothers Coal" That's Ian Lynn on piano and (I believe) Andy Pask on the Fretless Bass... R.I.P. Michael, you and your songs were (and still are) very much loved...

Found this accidentally and it is an excellent tribute to Michael

No? Certainly his nephew, Mike is a big Dundee Utd fan. I just assumed they all were.

This is just genius. A tear and a smile all at the same time.

A wonderful version of the song... though I don't think he was actually a Dundee Utd supporter. Michael Marra rest in peace.
