Subject: RE: MI5 monitored Ewan MacColl
There is a forthcoming biography of MacColl written by Ben Harker and commissioned by The History Workshop Journal (I think) which should be available before too long. I have seen the chapter on the mass trespasses movement in Derbyshire. It seems very even handed, which will make a nice change. I hope (some time) to make available the material I have on him, particularly on his work on singing technique which I believe to be unique. Purple Foxx - would be grateful if you find the interview you could let me have a copy - thanks. 'Ewan McShitface - A traitor who pretended to be Scotch - should have been shot!'
Don't you just love to wake up to a good intellectual discussion?
