eddie1 banned songs (140* d) RE: banned songs 10 Jul 13


Certainly in the West of Scotland, any song that smacked of sectarianism was "banned", two examples being "Kevin Barry" and "The Sash my Father Wore" This resulted in the banning of Hamish Henderson's wonderful "Coronation Coronach" because it used the tune of "The Sash"!

Some clever musicologist - wish I knew who cos I'd like to shake his hand, discovered you could sing "Kevin Barry" to the tune of "The Sash" thus being banned on two opposing grounds! What a triumph!
