'I Belong To Glasgow'' -The Glasgow our parents Told Us About

Музыка

A tribute to my Glasgow the one our parents parents told us about, the day of taking turns at cleaning the stairs, tram cars and jam jars, gas lamps in the streets, and of course the chorus of ''I Belong To Glasgow'' resonates around the world on a Saturday night, as the pubs empty onto the rainy streets. We gave the world Govan Shipbuilding, ''The Old Firm' and ''Francie And Josie'' ''Whit merr dae ye waant??'' Let Glasgow Flourish, always

    Thanks for this, from a Glasgow punter who emigrated back in the 1980s, but who still recognised every (almost) scene in this great video!

    To Baird and Hardie - two of the Scottish Radical Martyrs - disinterred from Paupers' Graves at the Kirk of the Holy Rood [Cross] after hanging and beheading, Stirling's Broad Street, outside the Tolbooth (8 September 1820). Now reinterred in Sighthill Cemetery, Springburn, N1. My wee commentary picture was taken at their grave, summer 1967. Rest In Peace. 💓💓 Thank you, Chaz. Subscribed.

    *SPRINGBURN ROAD, SIGHTHILL CEMETERY MEMORIAL TO BAIRD AND HARDIE* [Credit: portal historicenvironment scot] *Description* Martyrs' monument erected 1847 by public subscription to commemorate John Baird and Andrew Hardie who were executed in Stirling, 8 September 1820, 'suffering death for the cause of freedom'. The classical monument is composed of a tall pedestal with bellcast cap, supporting a draped urn, standing on a raised plinth, approximately 5m high, in grey sandstone. Inscribed panels on each face of the plinth have relief sculptures of classical scenes on each face of the pedestal. *Statement of Special Interest* Listed for historic interest. John Baird and Andrew Hardie were radical reformers who struggled to improve conditions for textile workers. They were not allowed to be buried in a public burial ground. In 1847 Sighthill was a private cemetery.

    Thanks Chaz that wiz totally rerr. The images remind me of all the wonderful places in my short trouser days. The music is engraved in my blood, even though my Dad was only ever drunk once, when he was about 60. Unfortunately he passed out before being openly merry.

    Heres tae Will Fyffe... His singer-songwriter skills are still well-known today, particularly his composition "I Belong to Glasgow". This song has been covered by Danny Kaye, Eartha Kitt, Gracie Fields and Kirk Douglas: "If your money, you spend, You've nothing to lend, Isn't that all the better for you" As a result of this song, Fyffe became forever associated with Glasgow, but he was born 70 miles away Wiki
