Stan Crowther wrote "The Vicar and the Frog" and "The Birmingham Brothel" and lots of other good songs. There are still some of us around in Rotherham who remember hearing their first performances at the Folk Club Stan ran in the town before he became its MP.
And if anyone still has any doubts, they might want to try asking the man himself, as Stan's still here, actively involved in running The Civic Society and even singing songs on the odd occasion.
