Thread Name: Welsh Drinking Songs
Subject: Welsh Drinking Songs
Back in the early eighties I was in a pub in Soho, England with a group of Canadians in our twenties who were touring Britain playing (ice) hockey. Canadian hockey players have a well earned reputation for craziness. It turns out that we were there on the eve of an England/Wales Rugby game. We all stood in awe of the Welsh fans in the pub. They were crazy, and they were singing these songs about English women and how ugly, unfaithful etc. they were. They were long songs and as I recall the verse was sung by one or two of them and the chorus by the entire group. There was much ale involved. I recall them being very funny in an extremely mysoginistic way, but I can't remember any of them. Can anyone help me. Due to the politically incorrect nature, you may prefer to e-mail me at steve@midrange.ca
