Many years ago (I estimate 1958), at one of the EFDSS monthly Sunday singarounds Peter Kennedy used to run, I remember the late Robin Hall trying to chip in on guitar as I was singing unaccompanied The Gaol Song, which was the way I liked to do it. I waved him down & he stopped. A few days later I met him again. "Ewan MacColl sings that song accompanied," he said accusingly, as if he had made some sort of knock-down point. I pointed out that if I wanted to do the same I'd have done it for myself, thank you.
