Robin Hall (June 27, 1936- November 18, 1998) was a Scottish folksinger.
He was born in Edinburgh but spent his childhood years in Glasgow. After studying at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, he briefly became an actor.
He formed a musical partnership with Jimmie MacGregor in 1960 and they appeared extensively on BBC Television – both on the Tonight programme and on the White Heather Club. (During this period Hall's wearing of a CND badge on television caused some controversy. [1])
Both Hall and MacGregor also played as part of The Gaillards with Leon Rosselson and Shirley Bland during the 1960s.
Overall, Hall and MacGregor made over 20 albums during their partnership which ended in 1981. [2]
Hall went on to make radio programmes for Radio Clyde.
