    #PercyFrench was aways a bit too tame for more defiant stars of the Irish folk revival such as #TheDubliners. He was a bit off-brand for the likes of #TommyMakem and #LiamClancy.

    But to me, Percy French still awaits the arrival of some loudly passionate and irreverent scruffs who can give his words some welly. #Shane and #Sinead would both have known what to do with this material, but it's too late to ask them why they didn't use it.

  9. Ted Tocks Covers - Year 8 - Day 21

    Molly Malone

    Happy St. Patrick’s Day

    Here is what many refer to as the official anthem of Dublin.

    “In Dublin's fair city
    Where the girls are so pretty
    I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
    As she wheeled her wheelbarrow
    Through the streets, broad and narrow
    Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh"

  14. This is an interesting BBC R4 documentary about Dirty Old Town by Ewan MacColl, the various interpretations and the recordings of the song by the likes of the Dubliners and the Pogues.

    Ewan MacColl apparently said: "I don't know what the Irish are going to do with it because they are famous for making any song their song.' I can't imagine what he meant. 😂
