Maybe I can get Marie Little to do that or even Cara on the same night who do Irish Celtic music :-)

Yesterday I chatted with a harper who is going to play English music at an evensong on St George's Day. I asked if she would play St George's Hymn, but she didn't know.

Wikipedia says that St George's Hymn is 'Jerusalem,' but there's more than one tune by that name.

Didn't the Vatican say St. George was mythical?

It's a pity St. George is so wishy washy. He was a Greek from Asia Minor, nothing to do with England, and came here as a result of the disgraceful Crusades. Could we replace him with a home grown one? St. Alban might be an obvious choice, but the Paddies have got St. Patrick (who might have been from Wales or Scotland rather than England anyway). St. Thomas Beckett might just inspire disrespect for monarchy (Are my knights all cowards, that none will rid me of this thelonious monk?), and the later ones like Thomas Moore and the Four Tomatoes are a bit divisive. St. Piran is a bit too localised, good chap though he was according to Quiller Couch.

Maybe we have to stick with him, but insist that he brings the doctor along with him.

I will have to put a couple up at Faldingworth Ruth, on April 17th at Faldingworth as its the nearest to the date.
Maybe I can get Marie Little to wear a flag :-)

That's the problem Emma and the worrying part is that if you do fly the flag, are you going to be classed as Rascist?

Stephen Tomkins, contributing editor of shipoffools.com, writes in support of The Archbishop of York's plea to 'the moderate majority of England' to embrace St George, reclaiming his flag and celebrating his day.

Acknowledging that the most obvious problem with the flag of St George is that it has become 'the flag of skinhead racists and football hooligans' so that there is .'too much baggage tied up in that thing for it to be easy to wave.' he nevertheless argues that
'perhaps that's precisely the point, and the reason why we need to grasp the pole'

'This is the country we've got, and this is the flag we've got, and if we can get better at waving the latter, that's got to be a good thing.
Let the bigots and racists go and get their own one.'

Probably more than you ever need to know about St George

What IS offensive is that the Fascist Bastards have stolen the Flag of Saint George ( No Names , No Google , so this wont be picked up by the apologists )

There's a facebook group - about 1/4 of a million members currently. I am sure there are other groups as well. It's also William Shakespear's birthday and my grandson, Willian George's, birthday as well so I will celebrate in style:-)

And, yes - don't believe any of the red-tops about St George's day or his flag being offensive to anyone. It isn't.

Cheers

Just thought I would try and whip some enthusiasm for Saint George's Day, which if I am correct is April 23rd.

Will we get a public holiday in England for it and will we be allowed to fly the flag?
