11 Mar 12 - 09:54 PM (#3321540) Subject: RE: Songs sung by Rugby Supporters From: Nigel Parsons 'arry 'ad 'an 'orse Whilst mentioned by Max Boyce in "Hymns & Arias", "Ar Hyd y Nos" is not really a song that gets the terraces ringing. It is more by way of a lullaby. You'll often get someone to sing it in the bar after the game. The call for silence for the singer may often be referred to as a request for "bags of hush now, please". Cheers Nigel |
