Thread Name: ADD: A Shropshire Lad (poem by John Betjeman)
Subject: RE: Captain Webb the swimmer
The John Kirkpatrick version of 'A Shropshire Lad' was on John and Sue Harris 'Among the Many Attractions at the Show Will Be a Really High Class Band' Topic LP 12TS259 1976. In his note Kirkpatrick mentions Betjeman reciting it to the music of Jim Parker on the LP referred to by bigJ above. Tony in Darwin sings it wonderfully.
