The Portsmouth Shantymen did a fantastic performance of The Old Gray Fox as part of their after-dinner set for the Sherlock Holmes Society of London’s visit to Pompey last weekend! The jokes in the song went down very well with the crowd after a few tots of rum!

I’m not sure many people were reading George Borrow at the time. We’ll dig into ACD’s motivations when we cover it. I think there’s a connection to his Regency interest though as Borrow was quite a fan of that period too.
