extract from email, James Lockwood, London
Hello there, I happened upon your fine
website and, whilst reading the pages, I
noticed you mention a bloke called Ronnie,
now living in London. The Orange Order
in London finds that brethren (and sisters)
from elsewhere in the UK don't realise we
exist, so if this bloke or any friends of
his are interested in getting in touch with
us, please let us know. I suspect
someone from LOL 1689 was in touch with you
back in 2007. We are particularly keen
to hear from anyone wishing to reactivate
their membership and transfer 'down south'.
Thanks, James Lockwood, WM, LOL 779 |

Webmaister:
I remember going to the Caledonian
accordion band concerts, under the
leadership of Billy McPhee, in Bridgeton
Public Hall and at these concerts
a wee lass called Marie Lawrie used to
belt out her favourite songs, she went
on to become the famous Scots singer Lulu!
I loved these concerts and they were
always a sell-out. see
Lulu & the Accordion band on "This is your Life in
1973"
