Ralph McTell Quotes

That's one of the quickest songs I ever wrote - I think sometimes I ponder too much over things, but that really came very quickly - and it's perennial, people are always asking for it. I'm always in love with the last thing I've done, but you get more complicated as you get older I think. Even though you might be striving to be profound there's an innocence - and more directness - when you write when you're younger.
Ralph McTell (about Maginot Waltz)

I love the traditional music of all our islands - Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales , but I suppose I'm viewed pretty much as an English songwriter and I'm going to try and do an English album, and I wouldn't be ashamed or embarrassed to do Scarborough Fair and Spencer the Rover and stuff like that.
