Paul Gwynne Phillips - Folk Songs and Ballads of the British Isles - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Paul Gwynne Phillips performs traditional songs from the British Isles which he learned mostly from hearing them sung in pubs or by acquaintances. Phillips explains that InchBold English NavvyInch was given to him by the proprietor's brother of the InchThe Whole in the WallInch pub but that he Inchdidn't put in all the verses because he said I was 'too young'.Inch Many of the songs are about the working class, exposing the hardships of labor while at the same time singing of love and courting. Other songs have a more serious subject, such as InchJohnson's Motor CarInch, which grew out of the Irish revolution of 1916 and is political in nature.
