I remember the Greyhound on Gloucester Green from my student days at Oxford in the mid-1970s. On one evening in the week - I can't remember which one - there was an open session of political song in a room on the first floor. The evening was presided over, as I remember, by two Catholic priests (though not wearing dog collars) and the songs - sung with great gusto by those present - were broadly left wing and Irish Republican. The evening usually ended up with Bandiera Rossa - and there would be a competition between Communists and Anarchists to out sing each other in the concluding lines: 'e viva communismo/anarchismo e la libertad'
