GUEST,Geoff Thomas Review: The Songwainers (67* d) RE: Review: The Songwainers 27 Sep 08


I had my copy of the Songwainer's LP borrowed (STOLEN) by a Scally (SUPPOSED FRIEND whom I shal not name - HOPE YOU'RE READING THIS, DAVID NORTON FROM BRIDGEND, SOUTH WALES, age 59 and a regular CHURCHGOER) some twenty five years ago (I'm not one to hold a grudge, me.

The whole LP was excellent but I particularly miss the eccentric Carol in praise of Charles the First and in support of the Monarchy, "George Ridler's Oven"; "The Old And New Courtier", a lament for lost values and Traditions, was also wonderfully produced; I also knew every word of "Holland's Leager" a paean of praise for one of the most famous brothels of the 17th century.

For words and explanantion of 'George Ridler' go to http://www.musicanet.org/robokopp/english/georgrid.htm

There are many references to Mistress Holland and her brothel. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holland's_Leaguer for a bare bones account.

Anyway, if anyone has a Copy they could burn onto CD for me, I would be very grateful and would gladly pay costs for its transportation etc.

Thanx Geoff Thomas
