by Ted Child
In this talk Ted Child speaks about the effect and influence of music upon the world that he knows, the world of the teddy boy and the also-ran. He recalls the time when he worked as a stage hand at Covent Garden and also the occasion when he was in a London pub after a Welsh rugby victory aK Twickenham. The Welsh boys sang their hearts out, particularly one Welsh boy, aged eighteen; and Ted Child wonders why he himself wasn't singing when he was eighteen.
