Below are extracts from interviews by The Corries over the years.
Broadcasting live from the heart of Inverness and powered by big limp at Scotland my autobiography which is called Ronnie Brown that guy for the Corrie's Ronnie Brown differences very crucial difference indeed and speaking of differences did you find the process different from like writing your own autobiography to writing music
Roy and I never we didn't know the docs we didn't either read or write music why no for another bagram Ronnie I was persuaded to do it because well I mean 77 year old right which is probably the time you write an autobiography but people said to me well they write this book and I said well everybody's one say who he this old man from the old business
I mean it's 25 years since the Corrie's died when Roy died in 1990 and I thought well who's interested so I was persuaded finally to do it was there anything that surprised you there was my wife died three years ago right now all of the years that I was on the road I always used to think I was a very bad father because unless the kids cetera et cetera however when she died we had an
unconventional funeral because neither she nor I were religious to do that we'd celebrated her life with a video that I made with my children government-funded a lot and during the making of the film that went great through our life together and it started when my daughter was nine years old and all the way through the shots of the shots of that chosen next thing and at the very end of
it I said to my son I said you know I've always felt guilty about being an absentee father and he said well I don't know why you did that because we're neighborhood school in Selkirk high school when they were young the talk evident Lee was that these are more of their father who was Bendis business than their fathers who were nine to five but then they did over time that weekend
played golf and it's only looking through great through this film I was there how was the cameraman through the snowball fights through the sledging through the school rugby the whole thing live coverage of a swoon orth as it happens broadcasting live from the heart of Inverness the sexton of life
well I've given some thought as to what i think Roy might like as his epitaph and I'll go way back to the old days of uh barney Mckenna and the late Luke Kelly and the early days of the fury's not gonna think and i remember it was once said to Roy by barney mckenna that Roy had educated fingers and i think he would love that to be his epitaph which in fact is true he had very educated fingers with his abilities on the various instruments lady why we appear by is be done and dry your cheeks young frank is chief of harrington is foreign a chain of gold you shall not break but still the priest leave to here you go grab your hands stab your feet spend time though as well now for the intellectual verses now Britain's quite a country with strikes and drugs and such one day we've got knee water and the next two bloody much and we to the hilt if they get their way at Westminster upon your he's a nationalist but johnny England gets home are if we did capture that kind of spirit of
that age then I'm delighted and I'm sure Roy would say the same the morn was fair the skies were clear no breath come over the sea when Mary left her heel uncut and wandered forth with me though flowers decked the mountainside and fragrance filled the veil by far the sweetest flower by far the sweetest rose it sorrows lonely hour when temp is wrecked good garland park and ran to shivering sail one made and farmers to the storm the rojos of valencia was hopes of happiness and tails or distant lands my life had been a wilderness unblessed by fortune scale of lord it could have been good enough to say that what we've created is something unique now we don't see ourselves or we didn't see ourselves as superstars or anything of that nature the big theatrical thing uh we're very homely kind of people
