The Humblebums were a Scottish folk band, based in Glasgow. Its members included Billy Connolly, who later became a renowned stand-up comic and actor, guitarist Tam Harvey and singer/songwriter Gerry Rafferty. The band was active from the mid-1960s until the early 1970s. Connolly co-founded the band with Harvey in the mid-1960s and played in the pubs and clubs around the city, most notably the Scotia Bar. Connolly sang, played banjo and guitar and entertained the audience with his humorous introductions to the songs.
