Sean Coyle: Creative echo

Creative echo

BBC Radio Ulster - Sean Coyle, Creative echo

Back in the day, you had to be creative with your echo.

How to create an echo and take moss off your lawn . Plus, did your house have a back return?

In days gone by, singers and musicians had a novel way of creating an echo – use a glass. One man used to stick a glass over his mouth organ. When Sean, inspired by Janet, suggests a new theme of ‘front room songs’ a listener is annoyed. “Sean, not everyone had a front room. We only had a back return”. What’s the difference between a rotavator and a scarifier? 

Music from Manfred Mann, Marty Robbins, Tom Jones, Sheila and B. Devotion and Johnny Preston.
