Subject: RE: The Anti-Gallican haste away. From: JohnH Date: 15 Jan 17 - 05:49 AM I think it was renamed "The Frog And Radiator". I hope it's reverted! |
Subject: RE: The Anti-Gallican haste away. From: GUEST,John from "Elsie`s Band" Date: 15 Jan 17 - 05:30 AM Many moons ago I lived in Charlton, SE London and knew "The Anti Gallican", half a pint of Charringtons and the world was our oyster! |
Subject: RE: The Anti-Gallican haste away. From: GUEST,Simon Rosser Date: 14 Jan 17 - 11:33 AM Yep I remember Swan Arcade's version. I've been trying to find it recently. Am I right in thinking it's on their first LP ( No CD of which is available of course) - I'd pay god money for one of those as it has "The Bright Shining Morning" on it as well as "The Hunt is up." They were a cracking act! |
Subject: RE: The Anti-Gallican haste away. From: MartinRyan Date: 14 Jul 09 - 05:59 AM I seem to remember it from the "Along the Coaly Tyne" LP many years ago. Think I only ever heard it sung live once - in an Irish folk club, probably by a visiting singer - Steve Turner, maybe? Like you, Les, I find the tune wedged in a corner of my brain. Regards |
Subject: RE: The Anti-Gallican haste away. From: Les in Chorlton Date: 14 Jul 09 - 04:07 AM A strange little tune - I cannot put my finger on the strangenesof the first 4 bars but it makes it more than a bit good L in C |
Subject: RE: The Anti-Gallican haste away. From: Les in Chorlton Date: 08 Jul 09 - 05:33 AM Swan Arcade (RIP) and few cracked as they did! L in C |
Subject: RE: The Anti-Gallican haste away. From: GUEST,baz parkes Date: 08 Jul 09 - 05:03 AM Swann Arcade used to do a cracking version. BTW FWIW a mate of mine used to live in Charlton(Not Chorlton!) about 500 yards froma pub originally called The Anti Gallican which had been renamed...but they hadn't removed the stone inscribed name...

Subject: RE: The Anti-Gallican haste away. From: Les in Chorlton Date: 08 Jul 09 - 04:08 AM Thanks Sean, Bob Davenport maybe? Can it be sung by a Manc / Scouser from Cheshire without loosing the rhymes and the charm? L in C |
Subject: RE: The Anti-Gallican haste away. From: Diva Date: 08 Jul 09 - 03:56 AM Both probably but I have Lou Killen singing it...haven't heard it for years |
Subject: RE: The Anti-Gallican haste away. From: Jack Blandiver Date: 08 Jul 09 - 03:47 AM It still gets sung in Tyneside & Durham. You'll find it in the Northumbrian Minstrelsy, or just click HERE. |
Subject: RE: The Anti-Gallican haste away. From: Little Robyn Date: 08 Jul 09 - 02:52 AM No. Not around here. I think Johnny Handle from the High Level Ranters was the singer I heard. Or was it Lou Killen? Robyn |
Subject: The Anti-Gallican haste away. From: Les in Chorlton Date: 08 Jul 09 - 02:44 AM I seem to remember this song with a grand chorus. Is it much sung these days? L in C |
