GUEST,Guest Why aren't the Corries taken seriously (111* d) RE: Why aren't the Corries taken seriously 17 Apr 25


A multitalented duo.. but releases spoilt for me by the turgid pastiche comedy songs, which you either love or hate. Then there's the terrible dress sense.. they went from the Arran jumper look to the bizarre Celtic shirts and tunic things, and horrible shirts.   Also their political stuff was naff for me, and associated with a certain period of Scottish nationalism, with 'that song', overshadowing all before it, and being sung by every drunk, and anti-English nutter on the go. Being EMI artists in their heyday and beyond, they were always included on the obligatory Tartan heather, hills and haggis compilations amongst the stereotype Harry Lauders etc.
