Thread Name: Worst singing accent.
Subject: RE: Worst singing accent.
why not donate them to a historical society or a folklore society or a museum?
How can they be "used" in that way Dick?
They are examples of how the old storytellers approached their material, not museum pieces to be looked at - something very much needed as examples when you consider the 'tricksy' approach of modern storytellers who feel the need to act out their tales in pseudo-medieval costume
You appear to making too much of this Dick - you've lost my attention - sorry

Nick - not a great example of Ewan, but hardly the worst
I've heard far more diabolical attempts at 'Mummerset' - even from people who are from that part of the country
The Yetties always managed to set my teeth on edge when I could bear listening to them
