Who told you that load of nonsense?

[banjostead]

By cupping his hand over his ear, sometimes putting finger in ear, he can hear himself better. Helps to keep in tune. When working within a group it helps harmonies etc

Vote Labour and bomb Iraq.

Oh, and lets have a war criminal to lead the party.

My old man was a union man and worked hard all his days too. A moving song.

@simeonwren his politics wasnt as extreme as that , all what he sings about is about mainly the working man and against the bosses , go back to victorian times , with workhouses and kids down the mine , working long hours for little pay, ,if it wasnt for unions thats still what it would be like , its starting to get that way again now, since thatcher took away union power away, its not foolish to fight for your rights against the haves , otherwise the,ll shit all over you ,,

@banjostead you pick up your voice off your palm and can control it like a volume knob by adjusting your palm...;)

This is the first time that I have heard Ewan sing. It is the start of a new adventure for me to find more of his work to embrace and share with my friends. A fine post! Thanks. :-)
