To return to the original question, Peggy's recollection appears to differ slightly from that of Ewan, who addressed the issue in an interview with Fred Woods in Folk Review when he accepted collective responsibility for the policy. "We initiated a rule that you sang the songs of the language you spoke and the language that you had grown up with." He said the issue had arisen over a "Newcastle lad of Irish extraction and wanted to sing Greek songs though he'd never been to Greece." No mention of a cockney Leadbelly.
