   Remembering a long gone thread - I thought I'd add to it because in fact   
   last week there was indeed a Silly Wizard Re-union gig at Celtic   
   Connections in Glasgow - Celtic Connections set up a concert for "Phil   
   Cunningham and Friends"  and we got together for a set of three songs in   
   that concert - great to see everyone but even better to play together.   
   However - relevant to this thread - Johnny's fiddle was covered by two   
   fiddlers - John McCusker and Duncan Chisholm   
      
   A grand night was had by all!!!
