Thread Name: Galoshans - who is performing?
Subject: RE: Galoshans - who is performing?
Dave Francis, who now heads the "Traditional Music Forum" organisation in Scotland, once produced a version of "Galoshans" for a Christmas party at Aberdeen Folk Club which was excellent and much appreciated. That would have been around 30 years ago.
I've a feeling that Alastair Roberts may have been performing it maybe around 4 - 5 years ago. I seem to remember him due to perform it after a "Traditional Music Forum" meeting which I attended in Glasgow , although I missed it as I had to get a train back to Aberdeen.
Only 2 times I've come across it since the mid-1980s. It would be good to see it, and any similar "folk plays", make a comeback.
