To return to the original topic, I just have to put in my tuppenceworth of disagreement about a guest's opinion of Gaughan's version of this ballad. I have heard him doing it on a number of occasions and it's always been great. It suits him well as one part of his family is from Ireland, another from the Highlands. It's true that Dick is uncompromising in singing in his own accent. Leith, I believe. I suppose some might find this accent unpleasant. I, for one, find it a pleasure to listen to.

(The joke by 'severn' originated, I think, in a parody of an advertising slogan for the Maidenform Bra –"I dreamt I went walking in my Maidenform Bra". Maidenform Bra was transformed into Erin Go Bragh.)
