Thread Name: glasgow or scottish pub songs
Subject: RE: glasgow or scottish pub songs
This thread started as a request for Glasgow songs,and finished as the Eddi Reader fan club...OAP's branch.
If you want Glasgow songs, go to the wee bookshop in Parnie Street and talk to big Adam McNaughtan ...Hes the best writer of Glasgow songs that i know
On his CD "Words", which contains "Oor Hamlet", is a poem called "The wee malkies", one of my favourites, with the real flavour of a 50's Glasgow childhood.....Chilling stuff.
"The Glasgow I used to know " is the definitive Glasgow song , full of warmth and sentiment.....(Just like Edna)....Ake
