Stan falls into the category of a funny man who uses Folk as a vehicle in much the same way that Billy Connolly, Jasper Carrot, Richard Digance, Mike Elliot and Mike Harding did (although very different)

If you have listened to Radio programms of the ilk of 'The Hudd Lines' then I think Stan should and could easily be writing such material

His folk club work is current and topical in the main and he may or could be working any venue to my mind

He is a genius, in much the same way that Les Barker is. Folk clubs appear to be their bread and butter ~ its time that they were both in the main stream and reaching wider audiences than folk clubs

Kate Rusby has outgrown smaller Folk Club venues and appears to be making inroads into more generalist and lucrative areas of main stream yet still folk related work and good luck to her!

Horses for courses perhaps?
