A boozy night with Billy.

We met Billy Connolly in a hotel in Manchester where we were staying the week and he was there for a couple of days. He was great company and one of the most naturally gifted funny men I have seen. He is the same on stage as off. We were due to go to Scotland a few weeks later and took him up on his offer to visit him at his home in Drymen near Loch Lomand. We spent a very enjoyable day with him and his first wife Iris.
