We have a black and white sketch of the harbour. Not sure of the artist. Have a photo ready to send to Hugh when he gets home so that he can post it for me. (Will give you a day or two to get your washing done, Hugh)

Hi Mike, no idea if you can still see this but I have came across a vinyl record of the saltcoats harbour band signed by 4 members, Tom, John, yourself and another I can't make out. Would this be of any interest to yourself or no anyone who would like it?

The Saltcoats Harbour Band was formed in 1982 the members being Tom, John Shearer, John Montgomery and myself.
In 1984 John Shearer moved south and Dusty Miller joined. We played together until 1992 , playing all over Ayrshire and regularly at the Irvine Harbour festival and The Marymas Folk festival. In 1988 we played at the SECC and went to Brittany with the Ardneil Pipe Band playing at the Nantes Festival . Alas Tom and John have passed away . Dusty is still in Saltcoats and I am in Southsea.

Hi, Welcome to threetowners.

Sad to say, Mike passed away early last year. As you will see Mike and the McCann family are well thought of in the area. Here's a link to the news we received: viewtopic.php?p=179133#p179133
