Subject: RE: The song Jazzer sang on the Archers?
As I said, I had a discussion with June Tabor soon after she'd come down with a history degree(c 1969). She pointed me to contemporary sources of the Jacobite campaigns, in particular graphic descriptions of the slaughter at Culloden which every armchair BPC worshipper should be compelled to read. No, we did not talk about Glasgow children's street songs nor the output of Adam McNaughtan (why would we?) who wrote a song about throwing jelly sandwiches out of the window. This may be a traditional practice but the song is copyrighted to him.

As for Roses For Prince Charlie, I did not describe it as "reactionary" merely a tad tedious and banal. If you wish to engage with me, kindly take note of what I actually say.
