Robin Williamson (b 1943)/ Myrrh
Scottish singer-songwriter, story-teller, harpist, poet, maker of Celtic myths.
(I make no distinction between albums by Robin Williamson and
albums by Myrrh)
(Robin Williamson is not related to Roy Williamson of the Corries.)
(Robin has also recorded with the Incredible String Band.)
(Some of the records contain extended spoken word sections)
(Some of his fans are interested only in the harp-playing albums)
