The Celtic Social Club - Dirty old town - live @ Quimper

[@Lily_The_Pink972]

Dirty Old Town was written by Ewan McColl (Kirsty's dad) about Salford, an industrial city next to Manchester in Lancashire or Greater Manchester if you're up to date. The gas works were demolished only a couple of years ago. Salfordians like myself love this song and feel it's ours alone.

[@backgardenbusker7206]

The 'Gasworks Croft' immortalized in Ewan MacColls song has been written out of history.

[@proudman6598]

But it only became popular when recorded by Luke Kelly and the Dubliners in the late sixties.

@@proudman6598 Not if you lived in Salford and were a fan of The Spinners.

[@roppa789]

@@proudman6598The Spinners had made it popular in 1965 mate. The Dubliners copied it three or four years later but MacColl had it on a number of vinyl records in the 50s.

Ou comment défoncer un superbe morceau des Pogues!

[@TheCelticSocialClub]

Non. EWAN MC Coll en 1950.

[@jolysable9335]

c est pas une chanson composée par les Pogues mais par Ewan Mac Coll!

[@alainlasnier8900]

non ça vaut pas la chanson original DYRTY OLD TOWN - IMMORTEL A SHANE MACCOWAN

[@TheCelticSocialClub]

Ce n'est pas une chanson des Pogues 😊😊😊

[@backgardenbusker7206]

Written by a first generation Scot about a town in England first released by Ewan MacColl in 1953.

On ne peut pas chanter les Pogues.

[@proudman6598]

The worst version ever sang ,they might as well have done it is a jazz version which is the way it was sang when first written.

[@roppa789]

Do some research and go listen to the writer Ewan MacColl singing it the way he wrote it. He was a folk singer.

[@changanie33]

quel massacre !!!
