Saw him twice on Bill with Lindisfarne ... Great Folk singer songwriter and wrote some stuff for them and others.

Scottish singer-songwriter (b.13 May 1947, St Andrews, Fife, Scotland - d. 11 November 2022) in the British folk-country-pop-rock genres. Besides being a prolific solo recording artist, he was an early member of Stealers Wheel. He has also worked with Gerry Rafferty, Lindisfarne, John Martyn, and other notables.

Did he ever have a spot in the Albion Band? All sorts of people had a time there! Phil Beer for example, a similar folk, pop, rock guy with immense musical virtuosity

I once saw Phil Beer playing in a log cabin at the bottom of a garden in Barnsley. A guy with a mullet called Hedley used to tour manage a few guys and they always played a small show for him and a few pals. Saw lots of touring U.S and Canadian folky type musicians at his place as well.

Strange name to call a mullet.
