I deleted the sentence about Kevin Burke being replaced on Old Hag...; my copy has him listed as a member on the recording. -R. fiend 03:51, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I deleted a reference to Donal Lunny collaborating with Silly Wizard's Andy M. Stewart, as he never did--it was his brother Manus Lunny that performed with Stewart for a couple years--and added a reference to a later project, Mozaik. LNER4472 (talk) 19:33, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

National Theatre in Kilburn

The article (and Allmusic ref) says that an album was recorded at the National Theatre, Kilburn. There is no such place, the major music venue in Kilburn at that time, and for many years, was the National Club (more info here. The only National Theatre in the UK is on the South Bank, and the only theatre in Kilburn was the Tricycle Theatre, though it had not opened yet in 1976, when the Bothy recording was made.

Yes, discogs.com has all the correct details here. But of course we can't use that as it's "not reliable". Not sure we need two separate links to the erroneous AllMusic there? And I think it was called simply The National, not the National Club. Martinevans123 (talk) 08:49, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think it was known in music circles as "the National, Kilburn", but officially it's the National Club. The blog source says "The cinema became the Kilburn National Club which ran from 15 Dec 1976 until 1999." In fact, it's a Grade 2 listed building: [1].
