why is he called the big yin ?

In Scotland, 'yin' means 'one'. So basically he's known as 'The big one'

He could easily play the tambourine or maracas................slowly.

There IS a god!

 

 

 

Harsh, he was a great banjo player. Not a great guitarist or singer (by his own admission he had: "a voice like a goose farting in the fog")

Definitely declining is Billy, he didn't look like he was all there to be honest, think he has 2 or 3 years left maximum, though i will probably be wrong.
