Back in the 1970s The Singers Club in London produced a series of magazines entitled 'New City Songster' which ran into 20 editions; it was made up of contributions from some of the best composers of contemporary (mainly political) material from Britain, America and Australia - long gone, but well worth searching out. You probably are aware of the two anthologies of Ewan's and Peggy's writing Apart from that - I'm a bit out of touch as we're now living in the West of Ireland If I can be of any help, don't hesitate to PM me good luck Jim Carroll |
