GUEST,Polly Help: Dirty Old Town? Meaning??? (MacColl) (406* d) RE: Help: Dirty Old Town? Meaning??? 22 Oct 18


Goodness me. People are still listening :)
I can't help thinking that Clinton knew exactly what he was doing. He picked up a stick and prodded a sleeping dragon. It may have produced a bit of fire and brimstone but a lot of interesting reminiscences too.
Ewan MacColl remains a great hero of mine and Dirty OT a favourite despite it being (so I'm reliably informed) sung at Man. U games. I still like to sing "croft" and "Salford Wind".
I love hearing everyone's take on the folk scene back then and about the men and women who wrote and sang these lovely songs. Out of interest does anyone else share my love of Sirley Collins' version of "Foggy foggy dew"?
Pints all round,
Polly
