> What happened? Different man, Jack. This Tony McManus (who sometimes called himself Antony Mac Manus to differentiate) was a journalist, translater, songwriter and singer (amongst other things, I'm sure). He translated Brassens, Brel etc into Scots and performed occasionally with a vocal group called The Birlinn Ensemble (John Greig and Johnny Cradden were other members). I think he may have had some songs on the Songs Under the Bed series, but they're in the cellar and I'm not, so I can't confirm. -- Nigel Gatherer, Crieff, Scotland [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.argonet.co.uk/users/gatherer/ Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music & Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
