Harry Robertson (composer)



Henry Macleod Robertson (sometimes credited as Harry Robinson) (19 November, 1932 — 17 January, 1996), son of Henry Robertson of Elgin, Morayshire, was a composer who wrote the music for a number of film and television productions. He was responsible for writing and producing the pop song Hoots mon (not so much a song, more an instrumental take on Coming through the Rye with spoken interjections in a mock-Jock accent by Lord Rockingham's XI - undoubtedly a response to the recent Bill Haley hit Rockin' Through the Rye, based on the same traditional Scottish ditty originally written by Rabbie Burns), which stayed at Number 1 on the Hit Parade for three weeks in 1958.
