If I have given the impression that I was knocking ANYONE then let me withdraw. I am not enamoured with Jim's publicity and I remain to be convinced the hype is true. His singing is fine.

I certainly was NOT knocking Martin Carthy who remains to my mind one of the most influential post-war singers. I was saying that the first time I saw him I found his constant tuning up (as I, in my ignorance thought it was) an irritation.
