It may not have anything to do with anything but I quite like it. In February 1981(John) Tams spoke to Patrick Humphries in the Melody Maker and gave a statement of intent as far as the First Eleven - as they were still named -(later The Home Service) was concerned. "We have to find what is identifiable to contemporary listeners, that also takes on board the tradition, the national heritage, and blend it with an accessible style." He defined their approach as 'rock folk' rather than 'folk rock'. His choice of words was more than a mere verbal sleight. Charlotte (found inside Ma and Pa's piano stool)
