11/16/77 - death of

Patrick Shuldham-Shaw

at age 59

A major folk song & dance scholar & founder until his death of the long delayed but staggering - magnificent, Greig-Duncan collection. (Vols 7 of 8 came out May 1997.)

Hamish Henderson (in Alias MacAlias) personally witnessed at a party:

Aly Bain told Shuldham-Shaw he would play him a tune he had picked up in Canada. It turned out to be 'Margaret's Waltz' - one of Shuldham-Shaw's own.
