Subject: RE: Blue Velvet Band-songs with clothing in title From: Mr Red Date: 20 Aug 17 - 04:35 AM Coughton Court still has the coat (or a modern facsimile). Sheared dyed, dried, spun, woven and tailored in 24 hours, for a wager. Throckmorton Coat & here too. A modern song by Bryn Phillips song - the Throckmorton Coat at an event to re-create the "coat in a day" wager. the Portway Pedlers used to sing a different song with a chorus "how do you like my blue". Their son was director of Chippenham Folk Festival until last year. Can't find the lyrics. & my song Knittershanty first on list. |
