Celtic Music Radio has just learned that sadly John Watt died on Sunday 30 October.

He was a great stalwart of the Scottish folkscene for over 40 years and a notable songwriter with many of his songs known worldwide.

Gordon Hotchkiss will present a special trubute programme to John Watt on Wednesday 9 November on Hotchpotch at 7.00pm.

Gordon will play tracks from his first LP release and an interview recorded last year at the Fife Song Weekend by Jimmy Hutchieson.

Celtic Music Radio will reflect on John’s passing with some of his songs, his most famous probably being the ‘Kelty Clippie’.
