Subject: RE: Let's give the composers some credit
A recent programme on British TV , ostensibly about "folk" music , featured an attractive Scottish lady singing "Shoals Of Herring" ,which was described merely as a "Scottish Song " , with no mention of Jimmy Miller , aka Ewen McColl from Manchester. Similarly neglected is Roy Williamson , late of The Corries ,whose name is often conspicuous by its absence where renditions of "Flower Of Scotland" are concerned .
