Thread Name: Songs about: 1979 Scottish devolution referendum
Subject: RE: Songs about: 1979 Scottish devolution referendum
Gallus Moll -- the original post was to ask for songs of the period, to provide historical support/ evidence for a dissertation, so even if you wrote something this morning it wouldn't be helping.... Anyway, there are maybe more urgent song topics in our current climate, wouldn't you say?

Tattie, thanks for making that Gaughan connection: I'm sure the student will want to follow up on it.

Jack, thanks for your contributions (especially the second!). It's my memory that much of the campaign focused on vigils at the Royal High School -- or did they come after the failure of the vote? Just thinking that if there were such gatherings, there might have been singing.
