I don't know much about Kentigern. I have heard that the members came from such groups as Tinkler Maidgie and The Invernesky Firemen . Other members of Kentigern included John Gahagan, Jimmy McGuire, Sandy Stanage, Dougie Pincock and Jim and Sylvia Barnes. Any more information about the group would be gratefully received: email me. Some of the Kentigern family's recorded output is detailed below.
