    Uh—hits in the UK? Never heard of this group.

    I have been haunted by that song for decades.

    They can sometimes be seen in the unlikeliest settings:







    Same guitar in all these clips I think.

    Rafferty worked during the '60s in a Glasgow-based folk trio, The Humblebums. Eventually, the group was reduced to a duo and one night on a pub gig, Gerry's musical partner broke a guitar string and decided to tell a few stories and jokes. The audience lapped them up so it became a regular feature of the act. Figuring that his monologues were attracting more attention than his playing, the performer amicably split with Rafferty and Billy Connolly went on to become a national then international star.

    Tailpieces and pickups vary. There are other details, undoubtedly, but that is what strikes me.
