Subject: RE: BBC4 tonight Folk Hibernia
I enjoyed it
Saw Celtic Connections bit this weekend and Shane McGowan and use of the bazzooki which seems to have been a turning point in the Irish sound associated with current Irish music (set the scene)
I was asked yesterday who the woman was who kept coming up (Anne Briggs) and we also chatted about Bert Lloyd (A.L.) and Ewan Mccoll with my folkie friends
Some interesting times
Who was the bazzooki player ( he was on shown as a young man and also taking as a grey beardy bloke ~ like me)
What was the name of the song sung by Ronnie Drew written by Shane McGowan about the bodies burried in the sand dunes?
Err No I dont know the answer!!
