I went to Henderson Lynn in the 1970s. He had a ground floor flat in PollokshawsRd near Allison St as I remember. He had quite a reputation as a fortune teller then but I’m still waiting to have an affair with a girl called Carol whose
dad owned taxis in Paisley! lol

Jill Jackson is a legend…probs the best singer/songwriter in Scotland at the moment. I’d have sat throught what sounds like a bit of a dull night just to watch her shine.
Big up to Werd & Wardie too – well done boys x

“That’s a tad bitchy. Is the implication here that Scots aren’t behind either?”
heh, it maybe did come across as bitchy especially given the categories! But it was just in the context that the people who collected the prizes didn’t sound like they were from round these here parts, contrasting with the ones who clearly were.

“As it happens, the equivalent of the Scottish granny rule does allow The Skinny Magazine and Fresh Air FM to collect awards”

That’s a tad bitchy. Is the implication here that Scots aren’t behind either?

Sandi Thom was offering freebies to anyone who voted for her when she found ou she was nominated.
She hawked herself all over the internet to make sure she got the public votes.
Bribery at its best!

almost certainly the same chap – I know from my dad that he did ‘fortune telling’ from a room in Glasgow. I don’t think I saw him since he started that part of his career however, and never had a reading myself. However, I remember that he had gone from a regular magician to someone more interested in the ‘real’ stuff… also, I remember a bit of an expose on him in (probably) the Sunday Mail – he was doing psychic experiments (mind reading kind of stuff) with kids, as their minds were more malleable or less suggestible, or whatever. Which was of course ideal tabloid fodder!
Anyway, pleased to hear you met Harry and that he was well-thought-of in this field.

Hi, you mention a magician friend of your father’s called Henderson Lynn, also known as Harry.

Was this the same bloke of that name who described himself as a “mentalist” in Glasgow, and who gave psychic readings from a room in the city centre, I can’t remember exactly where?

I visited him once 20 years ago and he was very good, telling me of things that only happened later, including involving a minor detail which he couldn’t possibly have known by non-psychic means. Other people have also said he was very good.

I didn’t know that he’d ever done stage magic, and just wondered what your take on his psychic readings was.
