Thankyou, Derrick.
Jim, has provided two examples of industrial songs collected by Ewan, so what, Because Ewan collected two songs and Seamus did not,I have given explanations as to why he did not[ being in ireland during the war] and only having a bicycle.2. It was not his remit when he was in Scotland]
it does not follow that Seamus could not interpret an industrial song as a singer.
Jim. here was my quote.

That argument could be turned against MacColl, MacColl is not noted for collecting many industrial songs either, but does that mean he was not interested in them?I dont think so.I would rather hear Seamus Ennis or Luke Kelly sing Hot Ashphalt than MacColl, but that is personal taste, Ewan did not lie Seamus version, right, that is personal taste.

Jim , I am labouring the point in an effort to have accuracy and truth for all concerned.
