GUEST,Eddie B The Rose of Allandale & The Corries (??) (42) RE: The Rose of Allandale & The Corries (??) 31 Jul 07

Thanks, Jim Lad. Your comments reflect my own memories of the Corries, and I'm glad someone has finally remembered Paddie Bell.
Apart from pointing to the exquisite political/sentimental marriage of Roy's 'Flower of Scotland', let me say that as a Dubliner who knew Luke and Ronnie well, I'm sure that the current Dubliners lineup would deplore any comparison between themselves and the Corries.
Both ensembles did so much for the 'respectablisation' of folk song that we will remain forever in their debt.
