Episode 18: English Curse (Scott, Sean, & John Taylor)

Hark! A dark deed has been done and scurrilous work is afoot Give an ear as John Taylor entreats us with a discussion of English Curse by Frank Turner. The song is an instrument-less ballad from 2011's England Keep My Bones. The tune is brimming with Englishness and condemns William the Conqueror's exploits in 1st Century England. And more explicity the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of William's son William II (Rufus) while hunting in the New Forest are lauded. Join us for a big-brained discussion on Normans, Anglo-Saxons and the early history of Southern England. If you've been wondering where we stand on the latest Norman vs Anglo-Saxon issue, listen in and find out! Commoners won't want to this this one.
