Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Brochan Lom Tana Lom / Hot Porridge Cold
This posting reminds me of a time when I was with Robin Hall & Jimmie McGregor when they were doing some dates in Scotland up in the North West. Robin and Jimmie were not sure about attempting this song in that area knowing full well that their Gaelic was a bit "iffy".The guy who organised the tour was from Dundee and assured them that nobody up there would probably even know it. However after the first couple of words the whole audience were singing along so much so that any mispronunciation by R & J wouldn't have been heard anyway.
So much for the knowledge of concert promoters.
