Lots of travelling today, so I'll start the #JukeboxFridayNight (#JukeboxSomeTimeOrOther) early and likely finish early too.

The theme is #SchoolsOut, as schools the world over start their seasonal breaks around this kind of time.

This is a very obvious choice, so apologies if anyone has already picked a version of it. School Days Over, a folk standard by Ewan MacColl. I've gone for The Dubliners' recording of the song, which is perhaps the best known, but many many British and Irish folk musicians have done this down the years.

Love #TomWaits just Waits-ing the hell out of "Dirty Old Town" — via #EwanMacColl via #ThePogues — in this 1988 LA #bootleg. Raspy belt at full volume throughout.

Moving On Song (Go, Move, Shift) - MacColl/Polwart/Wood

#music #EwanMacColl

An amazing version of the Moving On song with the MacColl brothers, Chris Wood, and Karine Polwart.

Got it stuck in my head, so...

For Valentine’s Day, I pulled myself together long enough to cough up a sincere love song for my #StupidAccordionTricks series - this time, #EwanMacColl’s #TheFirstTimeEverISawYourFace from 1957, written for Peggy Seeger & made famous by Roberta Flack. https://youtu.be/sjjkrx5a9ms

#NowPlaying a record - I have tons of these! - of sea shanties. I buy every old folk record with Sea Shanties, Topic Records have some great ones. This was done by Ewan MacColl and Bert Lloyd. Fun fact, Frank Zappa had this record as a teenager and loved it and it was stolen from him by none other than Captain Beefheart. Zappa later covered "The Handsome Cabin Boy" from this LP. #folk #ukfolk #records #vinyl #EwanMacColl #BertLloyd #SeaShanties

#nowplaying - #peteseeger put out so many LPs on #folkways that many are analogous to semi-casual bandcamp drops. side A of "the rainbow quest" from 1960 is pete in one of my favorite tender/mellow modes, including the 1st recording of "where have all the flowers gone," except all the songs are medlied together as choruses/fragments, intended for somber collegiate singalongs, i suspect. side B is more topical/newsy, bringing #ewanmaccoll / #peggyseeger songs to american ears.
