Stan mentioned some kind of link between falling over and fiddle players
(what's the null hypothesis of that?)
Here's 2 more for the list (which Nigel has probably already started):
Pibroch Mackenzie
Legendary fiddler with Bobby McLeod's band. Reputed to have fallen into
Tobermory Harbour one time too many. RIP.
Peter McClements
Of Barra and Edinburgh, who perfected a kind of Fosbury Flop, used for going
over hedges. This was part of a running competition we had on a couple of
tours of Germany. Peter won hands down, if not trousers down. One night we
were progressing along a German street with a particularly attractive hedge.
One minute Peter was there, the next there was just a blur and the sight of
his feet going over the top.
Then a long silence, and a splash. The hedge was above a steep embankment to
to a small river. He never felt a thing.
I remember ironing his passport as we dried him out.
