Episode 31 - Paul Morgan... Take me to the Vetch Field!

In 1979, Swans fan Roger Evans asked his fellow North Banker to have a listen to a song he had penned about their favourite football team. Professional musician Paul Morgan was that fan - and he instantly loved the rousing musical story that became The Swansea City Song. With Paul on guitar, Roger on lyrics and the Swansea players adding their voices, the single - which included the Ballad of Swansea Jack on its B side - was soon high in the local charts and was regularly performed pre-match at the Vetch.In this podcast episode season ticket holder Paul chatted with Jack and Ant about his musical background, his friendship with Roger, the song, Elton John's request for them to compose for Watford, their attempts to take their music to the US, the feelings he gets each time he hears it played... and the unreleased Roger Evans music that remains locked deep in a vault.And, after all that, there was still time for Paul - a former Olchfa pupil - to make a bold - and positive prediction - about the return to the top flight for his beloved Swans!
