Would that be 2 of the Taylors in Duran Duran at all ?

It would indeed. Not a band I’d readily associate with playing their own instruments but every day’s a learning day

The microphone in studio A is yours

The lads in their hundreds to Ludlow come in for the fair
There's men from the barn and the forge and the mill and the fold
The lads for the girls and the lads for the liquor are there
And there with the rest are the lads that will never be old

Who wrote this poem? What was his job when not writing verse?

AE Housman? Geographically close at least. No idea what other job he had if it’s right
