Mark Dowding Nutters in Folk Clubs (107* d) RE: Nutters in Folk Clubs 15 Feb 10


The late Paul Connor who frequented clubs in the Manchester was NOT a nutter as I'm sure Brian and others on here who knew him will testify but some of the stuff he wrote and the way he performed it was sheer top drawer nutter stuff. I wish I had a few more recordings of him than the couple I have.
My favourite piece that he did and that I can remember and recite on occasion is his version on Skewball:

Oh Skewball was a racehorse
I thought he was fine
He wouldn't drink water
He only drank wine

I backed him with silver
I backed him with gold
And the rest of my story
Is easily told

For now I'm a pauper
And you'll follow suit
If you back a racehorse
That's pissed as a newt

Cheers
Mark
