Bopper Review: Folk Britannia repeated on BBC4 (76* d) RE: Review: Folk Britannia repeated on BBC4 27 Jul 06


Sorry, you are quite right Owen Hand was Scottish. I should have said British not English. Not sure that I would agree that Louis Killen, Cyril Tawney etc: are part of the revival. I think more accurately they were carrying on the tradition. Cyril Tawney's "Oggie Man" was a great observational piece he wrote about the Plymouth Dockyard workers. Coming originally from Devon I was aware of "Tiddie Oggies" or pasties. Let's be thankful these singers passed (and still are) on their songs and knowledge to this generation. I used to like to listen to Meg Aikman, the London street singer, when she made her club visits. On the more contemporary side does anyone remember Elyse Weinberg. She was from Toronto and came to London and played about 1963/4.She changed her name to Cori Bishop some years back and now lives in Oregon. A new generation has just discovered her songs.
