The Cotters
I know very little about this duo. They were Alex Sutherland and
Alistair Watson from Edinburgh, and they got together after meeting in a
folk club. They subsequently did a TV commercial for Carling Black Label
in Canada, and recorded one album that I know about (see below).
Alistair Watson left the Scottish music scene in 1980 and emigrated to
Western Australia. His son (also Alistair) has recently returned to
Britain to try to build up his own musical career. He told me that his
father had been very ill with cancer.
Any other information would be gratefully received
(email me).
