Thread Name: Ewan MacColl - any first-hand anecdotes?
Subject: RE: Ewan MacColl - any first-hand anecdotes?
I turned up at a club in Stratford, London in 1970 to see them (and the BBC also turned up to film Peggy Seeger for a documentary about foreigners in England, which I later saw on TV). Although I had great admiration for Ewan and his work, I was not happy that the evening was full of songs like 'Ho ho Ho Chi Mihn'. I did prefer work like that on the Long Harvest, which I used to borrow from my local record library in the 60's.
