completely bladdered on London Pride

Perfect! Is there anything quite so splendid as being bladdered on London Pride in any sort of folkish context?

Must admit, I've never been able to take my folk entirely sober; before we left Durham we used to attend The Durham City Folk Club singarounds which fetched up eventually at The Shakespeare where I selected London Pride as my pint of choice because it was the name of my favourite morris tune. Aka Idbury Hill, of course, I play London Pride on pipe & tabor and use it as the melody to Rudyard Kipling's Puck's Song, but my source for this tune is The Battle of the Field by The Albion County Band, which is perhaps the finest slice of Folk Rock ever realised, in this country anyway, which also furnished me with I Was a Young Man, Hanged I Shall Be and The Gallant Poacher, all of which I still sing. Only later did I hear 'Dancing' Jim Wetherspoon whacking it out as part of Badger in the Bag's Green Man' Morrice (Buddle Arts Centre, circa 1980 - see HERE for the full story...) and I'm sure I've still got an old Folktracks cassette of a chap playing it on pipe & tabor too.
