The Ukelites: Dirty Old Town

[@MrMassivefavour]

"Gas Works CROFT" McColl was a literary genius. A playwright of note before his move into folk. Listen to: Freeborn Man. Sholes of Herring, River Thames Flow Sweetly, The Big Hewer, Thirty Foot Trailer, The Joy of living and My old man. He was a knock out lyricist.

Thanks, MrMassivefavour. We'll check that out.

FIne fine song. Good that you pointed out the true origins of the song. Ewan MacColl wrote one of the most beautiful love songs ever "The first time ever I saw your face", but the song has been associated with Roberta Flack. Hope to hear you giving it a go sometime.
