GUEST said "As to the editor of Folk Roots, he's a failed musician who couldn't survive in the 70's folk world and he's vented his spleen on all those who have been successful performers doing what he couldn't do."

I'm not quite sure how you square that with
a) He's the one currently praising the concert and the singers and you're all slagging them off, or
b) I spent Saturday night happily dancing to the band he still plays in at a really good ceilidh in Bracknell.

But don't let facts get in the way of opinions, that wouldn't be the Mudcat way ;-)
