The Laggan
Scottish folk group
I think The Laggan were formed in the early 1970s in Glasgow. An early
member was guitarist Brian Miller who later became involved with
The Occasionals. One of the stalwarts of The Laggan was
Arthur Johnstone who also started the Star folk glub. Any more information
about the group would be gratefully received:
email me. Some of the
The Laggan's recorded output is detailed below. Last updated: 14th March 2010.
