Subject: RE: Surat Weyver's Song (dialect) on BBC1
Great to see Sid reciting and singing on TV. Well done - and congratulations also to the BBC subtitlers who rose nobly to the challenge!

I thought the lines from William Billington's poem 'Where Are All the Blackburn Poets Gone?' could serve as a motto for all of us:-

"Reckon all reasons, the pro and the con,
For singing we've many, for silence we've none."
