Music Fan?

I have a date with this man on Sunday, super excited.

 
Definitely not everyone's cup of tea but, in the 60's
I was forever playing their music in my bedroom.

I don't know if anyone remembers this, years ago
The Dubliners sang "The Sash My Father Wore" on
TV. It caused a huge outcry until one of them, I just
can't remember his name, but it was the singer 3rd
from the right in the pink shirt, was interviewed on
a tv news report where he said........
" Well, we're Roman Catholic, we just happen like
the tune".
Hah, that fairly tickled me. I thought, good for you, respect.
If only more people could adopt that attitude. (Peace)
The story disappeared soon after that.

Doubt they'd get away with it these days though.

The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, very keen on
them , so had them in my record collection in the 60's also.
Forgot all about them until I heard them singing again on
the radio just a while back.
But as I said, both groups definitely not everyone's cup of tea.
