Thread Name: Film: The Wicker Man
Subject: RE: Film: The Wicker Man
The Interior of the Green Man on Summerisle was actualy the Ellangowan in Creetown. My best mate and expat Swinton Folk Clubber, Dave, emmigrated to Scotland a couple of years ago and lives about 2 miles from Creetown, so it is his local and I have a few good pints there myself now. Very nice pub and lots of the cast of The Wicker Man have revisted, including Edward Woodward, who stood a few rounds for the whole pub apparantly.

By a strange quirk of fate it brings us back to Folk Music. This very weekend there is a private party where lots of Swintonites, excluding me unfortunately, are descending on the Ellangowan and bringing a touch of Lancashire culture and music to the heathen Scot:-)

Cheers
