Peggy wrote a brilliant letter to The Living Tradition (entitled "I confess, It was Me" if I remember) explaining the whole thing about 'singing local songs'
She explained how she had instinctively bust out laughing after a young Walthamstowe lad had attempted to sound like a black Texas chain-gang convict
She apolgised for having done so, but she pointed out that the policy was for The Singers Club residents - an audience committee decision
Nobody has a right to dictate what should happen at other clubs but everybody should have a right to express an opinion
Must confess, the idea of Bob Copper singing 'Take this Hammer, Give it to the Cap'n' raises a grin
