The very same 'Sir Patrick Spens' that was the subject of a volcanic Bellamy rant, in the last year of his life, on having been informed that MacColl had quite possibly composed the tune himself, rather than hearing it from his father. I can still hear him roaring "That fucking Marxist lied to us!", as we strolled along the cliff at Whitby - though at the same time Peter was a great admirer of MacColl.
