GUEST,stallion Political Fallout At House Concert (196* d) RE: Political Fallout At House Concert 25 Nov 09


Good thread to bring up again, I remember doing a floor spot at York university folk club in 1972, hardly a hotspot of trouble, the main act were an "Irish" band (none had discernable irish accents) and sang a lot of Irish rebel songs, I decided to sing some recruiting songs as a bit of a balance, didn't go down well, mainly orchestrated by the pseudo irish band. Being brought up a catholic and having been tought by 90% Irish teachers and being immersed in the Clancy brothers songs for many years I was well aquainted if not word perfect on their songs and i wasn't making a political statement with mine just singing different songs. I think this reminds me of the time I got in the wrong queue at the day clinic, I was going in to give a blood sample and I did think it rather odd that everyone else in the queue were in for vasectomys, anyway, by the time I had finished telling them my friends vasectomy stories the queue had dropped from 22 to 6, and one guy who stayed only stayed because I had stayed! I got in the right queue and he was dragged into theatre screaming and kicking. point is they were the wrong people in the wrong place and were a tad rude which reflects badly on them. money back, I don't think so , caveat emptor
