Neil DrysdaleRab Noakes was a good friend and a cherished contributor to so many pieces I did. I was shocked when he died just a few days after our last conversation in 2022. I thought the world of him! #RabNoakes #GerryRafferty #BarbaraDickson #StAndrews #EddiReader https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/past-times/3878011/rab-noakes/
I don’t know many people who are both stars and genuinely grounded characters, but Rab Noakes belonged in that category. I was privileged to hear his memories of working with Billy Connolly and recording with Gerry Rafferty. And it still feels a bit strange that he isn’t around to offer a view on everything under the sun! #RabNoakes #GerryRafferty #BillyConnolly #CelticConnections https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/past-times/3878011/rab-noakes/

John DalLooking for songs to do at the local "folk" club, I came across this super version of Gerry
Rafferty's song to his mother nee Mary Skeffington. They had a tough time in a tough area, with an alcoholic violent father. Chill to this for 2 and a half minutes! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVBZKLiK5XY

I wrote a farewell to Rab Noakes and tried to explain why he mattered. And he did! #RabNoakes #MusiciansUnion #GerryRafferty #MichaelMarra #BarbaraDickson #ScottishMusic #St Andrews #Dundee #BBCScotland https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/past-times/3878011/rab-noakes/?utm_source=twitter
Rachel FoxMuch sadness at the death yesterday of talented Scottish musician, songwriter and performer, Rab Noakes. Earlier this year I did a blog series about some of my favourite songs and Rab's 'Gently Does It' was one of those songs. You can read an interview with Rab about the song in the post below - very moving it is too. What a star he was.

Martin WebsterFascinated to hear this. Was down a YouTube rabbit hole looking at songs by #RabNoakes, I was only familiar with the #Lindisfarne version of this. It's always been one of my favourites.
