“The Celtic Song” Podcast 55 sees us back to our usual Friday night spot as the LostBhoys catch up with Terry Dick, son of the famous Celtic Singer Glen Daly. The song is fifty years old next year and Terry takes us back to 1961 when the song was recorded and released to an audience that listened to Radio Luxemburg as the swinging sixties were starting to heat up. Our usual Celtic paranoia kicks in as Terry recounts the furor towards the Celtic Song and the Ballad of John Thompson at the time and the hostile opposition there was to the songs in the local media with calls to have it banned as it might incite violence – and you thought this was just a new thing?? We hear how the song developed and exploded into the anthem that it is today as well as how the song got embraced by the Football Club itself (despite a certain member of the board trying to have it dropped in the 1990’s). We hear how the song has turned up in many different media productions not to mention it’s most famous airing, in the tunnel at Lisbon. History – hope you enjoy it. www.LostBhoys.com Also available on iTunes and FootballFancast.com
