Subject: RE: 10 of the Most Disturbing Folk Songs - BBC
Ah, The Last Of The Great Whales... I had a recording of that song by Roy Bailey (what a man he was...). In 1995 I was the form teacher of a class of Year 11s in a Devon secondary school. A couple of my girls took the song to heart after hearing the recording and performed it imaginatively in a school production - wonderful it was... Roy came to our folk club around that time and he wasn't going to escape until he'd done that song!
