GUEST,erictheorange	Ewan MacColl's accent (182* d)	RE: Ewan MacColl's accent	12 Oct 06
>>GUEST,lox >> >>Thread title? "ewen MacColl's accent" >> >>What was his accent? "Scottish" >> >>Why? "Because he was Scottish, just like his parents and grandparents" >> >>That's that. Not exactly true is it! The whole point of the original question was that he wasn't Scottish, but rather of Scottish descent. He was born & raised in Salford, England. Despite this he sang in a Scottish accent and adopted a (seemingly) more Scottish name. I had seen remarks on the internet alluding to this being an affectation so I asked for clarification. I also think that if you'd bothered to read this thread, the whole original question dealing both with his singing accent and why he changed his name was answered adequately about 2 weeks and 140 posts ago! eto
