- The Corries, namely Ronnie Browne and Roy Williamson, were a dynamic folk singing duo who, for more then thirty years, combined a unique blend of instruments and songs to create one of the most influential groups of the folk revival in Scotland. The group started out back in 1962 when Roy Williamson, Bill Smith, Ron Cockburn and Paddie Bell formed The Corrie Folk Trio and Paddie Bell. Later, Ron Cockburn contracted glandular fever and Ronnie Browne joined the group. Together they played to packed audiences throughout the country, played on TV and radio and made their first recordings. Growing families left Roy and Ronnie to decide whether to carry on as a duo. Their music is very much alive and enjoyed by many throughout the world. Now, with many of the old recordings being re-released on CD, Roy's song "The Flower of Scotland" set to become the national anthem of Scotland - it looks like The Corries are going to be popular for years to come.

Nik Jag..I had th eCd with these songs on it I will see if I still have it
I have just put the Corries on my profile.
I was lucky to see them with my ex before Roy Williamson died.
thanks for the great song of scotland
Niiki
Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I do not think all those songs are on one album/cd.
There is the "Comedy Collection" which has most of those
or
"Live from Scotland vols 3 and 4"
but I don't think you will find them all on one
Hope that helps.
