Jim Carroll BS: What defines the English (98* d) RE: BS: What defines the English 16 Sep 17


"Football??? Rubbish!!"
Only when played outside Liverpool!
"except down The Singers Club of yore....
"Don't spoil this with Urban myths Al
I saw Ravi Shankar there, and Bruno Pianta and Sandra Mantovani, and The Batish Family and Kali Das Gupta and Eric Bogle and and dozens dozens Irish, Scots and American performers down the years - not many English clubs could make such a boast
I remember trying to sell a cassette of an Irish Traveller we recorded that had been issued by the Vaughan Williams Library at a London folk club and being told by a somewhat rotund man with mutton-chop whiskers and sporting a Union Jack tee shirt - "sorry we only go in for English songs here".
Maybe that's what defines being English
Sorry - couldn't resist that!
Jim Carroll
