Christ, there are some twats on this thread! Personal taste is one thing, but to seriously suggest that Nancy Kerr, Sam Sweeney, Jim Moray and the rest of Bellowhead are mediocre musicians is quite simply factually inaccurate. Not to mention the increasingly unpleasant ad hominem attacks on those people.

This thread and a seemingly endless dreary parade of others like it have brought me (probably belatedly) to the conclusion that the few sane and coherent voices on this forum will be forever drowned out by the noise of far more numerous empty vessels. As such, I don't think I want to be associated with it any longer.

So to the intelligent, courteous and civilised minority - it's been nice knowing you. To the baying horde of gibbering nutters who appear to be taking over the asylum - enjoy the shabby, blinkered little corner of cyberspace you've created for yourselves.

Bye!
