GUEST,Douglas McColl Gulp! Ewan MacColl - Scottish or Not? (181* d) RE: Gulp! Ewan MacColl - Scottish or Not? 28 Jan 24


I have a headache now from reading all the posts. Why? I guess it got a discussion going! Its like stroop effect psychology experiment. Whatever he identified with, who cares. For Gods sake, people are self-identifying as cats and shit these days. Ewan's nationality was English and maybe he took the name because he was a fan of Robbie Burns and knew of Evan's work and thought the name sounded cool in which case he should have used MacCool. And yes we "McColls, MacColls and a couple other spellings are part of clan MacDonald. If any of you know Julie Fowlis, please mention that perhaps she should cover one of Evan's songs. Does anyone know any of the traditional music for the songs he wrote?
