Thread Name: Ewan MacColl's accent
Subject: RE: Ewan MacColl's accent
In a friendly way Liam Clancy described it as "the phoniest scottish accent that he ever heard." However, I think a Scottish accent is something rather hard to define. There are many distint ones in the Lowlands and Gaelic accents are very once again. I suppose Ewan developed one of his own.
