Hi spindizzy

 

I couldn't get it to play on this side of the pond. May have something to do with uk.youtube. I get an error message about intranet disabled.

 

Could this be the one: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=XZG-C81ajKs

And is that you in the red jacket?

 

Thanks

Brian Peters/Six Nights Drunk

In the current issue of "English Dance and Song", there is a good article about Brian Peters. "Six Nights Drunk" is discussed, and the lyrics are printed. Brian has revised the song to bring it up to date.

 

I think it's a version worthy of another airing within this Forum, for anyone who missed Leo's original posting.

 

Peter.
