Where did I say it was Ewan? I'm quoting from other people who were there at the time who say it was Ewan.

"'I remember going to the Singers Club a couple of times with Anne [Briggs]', says Bert. 'If you were a Scots person you were expected to to sing Scottish songs.'"

Bert Jansch
ibid p.162

I believe Bert (a Scot) had a fairly decent grasp of the English language, or at least he had the last time I talked to him.

PS the book was 4 years in the writing. A second edition appeared last year, presumably after a more considered re-writing. Inexplicably, the above quotes are still there.
