26 Aug 14 - 03:54 AM (#3654139) Subject: Wizz Jones and Lord Franklin BBC Radio4 From: Herga Kitty This morning's Today programme - an item on Wizz Jones around 8.25, followed by another on Lord Franklin about half an hour later. I just heard a snatch of Stan Rogers singing North West Passage.... (and there was an earlier item on tonight's Kate Bush concert too)! Kitty |

26 Aug 14 - 05:53 AM (#3654176) Subject: RE: Wizz Jones and Lord Franklin BBC Radio4 From: GUEST,CJB Ah - Brian Golbey and Mike Stanley. I have great memories of the Stanford Folk Club at the Stanford Arms pub at Preston Circus, Brighton - in the 60s. A great place to end a Sunday cycle ride at. Bikes parked in the side passageway; upstairs a thick pall of cigar smoke; Merrydown (English wine) and blackcurent; and Tim Broadbent, Miles Wooten, Brian Golbey and Mile Stanley singing and playing. I think one of the regular guys taped the sessions - but I suspect those are long gone. Would be nice to hear these guys again though. |

28 Aug 14 - 03:47 AM (#3654364) Subject: RE: Wizz Jones and Lord Franklin BBC Radio4 From: GUEST,LynnH @GUEST: perhaps because 'Sir John Franklin' doesn't scan and flow off the tongue in the way that 'Lord Franklin' does. Try it. I also doubt very much whether the broadside writing hacks from Seven Dials and the common people who took up the song cared very much about the difference between 'Sir' and 'Lord'- they were all aristocracy, weren't they, whatever the handle to the name! |
