    I think he sold Mull of Kintyre quite a while back - don't think he ever owned Mull the island though.

    DH played a gig with him somewhere ages and ages ago( not sure of details) . Not very prestigious, not mainstream stuff. I don.'t think he got an autograph.

    Alfie, My youngest would fight you for the sig, LIR he would be mega jealous of your other half playing with him.... Youngest wanted to go and see him in concert a year or so ago, but at over £120+ for the tickets, there was no way we could afford or realistically justify that amount of money per ticket.

    Choille, I thought he owned it, so did he only own part of it, or did he own somewhere else??

    Alfie how did you manage to obtain that then??

    Mull of Kintyre is on the mainland, it's a peninsula. He does still own it but has started sacking staff, they have to be out of their tied houses a few days before xmas. He's about to do a tree scheme & get £10,000 grant from the Forestry Commission so he must be skint eh?
