Folk britannia which side are you on

But it does remind me a little of Dick Gaughan, son of Leith, with a spine shuddering voice and an astonishingly aggressive and staccato guitar style.

This England, so much admired by Radio 2 listeners, is one where freedom and liberty is assured to all good and true providing we set about growing nasturtiums and runner beans on the land occupied by disused steel works, shipyards etc. But some cracking ones did. But before these guys we had, in my opinion, the star turn of the night, Andy Irvine of Planxty fame. This evening his short performance alone was worth the cost of the ticket.

Just wonderful. Of course by this time we were all bursting to rush for the barricades, so as soon as the fulsome and largely deserved applause died down we scrambled for the fenced-in taxi rank.
