Jack Campin Censorship-songs of certain folk singers? (58* d) RE: Censorship-songs of certain folk singers? 07 May 18


I once read an anecdote from the Scottish lutenist Rob McKillop. He was doing a recital of Scottish Renaissance music in a village in Fife which had historically been part of the fiefdom of the Earls of Wemyss, whose wealth mainly came from the coalfield around the village (operated as a serf economy with the usual brutality). They were also notable patrons of music. So, Rob announced he was going to do some pieces from a Wemyss family lute book...

Voice from the back of the hall: "IF YOU PLAY ANYTHING FROM THEY CUNTS I'LL KICK YOUR HEAD IN!"
