I think he's very funny! I've just read the link that Bagitha posted, and agree with the comments about the rudeness of people leaving their seats during the show to go to the bar. We went to a Fureys concert a few years ago, and our enjoyment was spoiled by people wandering about back and forth to the bar. Really disrespectful to the performer, too.
When Billy Connolly had his first band, The Humblebums, my husband, who I hadn't met then (unfortunately!) used to join in the local 'folk music circuit'. Billy and the rest of them played their music in my mother-in-law's back garden - I would imagine Gerry Rafferty would have been part of the crowd at that time too!
