mikesamwild Songs of Spanish Civil War at Whitby (28) RE: Songs of Spanish Civil War at Whitby 25 Apr 12


I went to a concert by Ewan McLennan the other week in Sheffield , it was put on by Folk Against Fascism and MC'd by Roy Bailey he sang The Old Man's Song and mentioned that Ian Campbell said it had been inspired by Bob Cooney of Aberdeen ( who lived a long time in Birmingham , with the Campell family) Bob had been in Spain as Political commissar to the British Battalion.

Ewan is going from strength to strength as a singer and guitarist and has 2 albums out.

He said the Whitby concert was a brilliant inspiration to him.
