Maybe I was onto something then
The first time I saw the term "Blarge" was on Donal Lunny's credits for Planxty's 1979 "After The Break" LP.
I also heard the story that Seamus Heaney came up with the term but I'd often thought it just a bit of fun. However
this thread on "The Session" says that Lunny and Heaney were involved in the same recording ('The Singer's House' by David Hammond, 1978) at about the time the term came into being. (There's a great YouTube link in the thread although Donal appears to be playing his Abnett.)
Anyway, surely this means that the CBOM message board needs another "B" with Fliss' important historical aquisition. What about CBOMB? (At least it's pronounced the same
)
