(Okay, okay, the audience likes it.) Needless to say, "Lift up your kilt!" is also NOT traditional. Linn |

Quite correct - Lou did it without the handclaps but with a little riff on the concertina filling the space. The song went from LK to the Dubliners, and thence to the Clancy Bros. I thought it was the Dubs who introduced the claps, and speeded up the song, as well as replacing Lou's words with a text from Australia. |
