No no no :-) Roger Whittaker had a hit with the far more cred "Durham Town" which has more cred being more grim and in the Norrth. He also had the smurfs connection, which was far cooler than the distinctly uncred "Alphabet Zoo".
Ralph McTell was the man in question - famous also for "Tickle on the Tum" on UK children's TV. Despite a distinctly uncred few years, he did write the maudlin country/folk song "From Clare To Here" which is pretty wonderful! An "alternative" version of "Streets of London" was performed by the Anti-Nowhere League...its, um...different!
