Ah, the tall poppy syndrome. Seth's doing well, let's get him!

It is my understanding that Seth put traditional (a dangerous weasel word, best left alone it seems) behind the White Hare because he felt that he had not so much written it as adapted it. I think we should applaud that; had he attributed it to S. Lakeman I have no doubt that the tumbrils od Mudcat would have been rumbling and many outraged posts would have been furiously knitted.

It is also, in my opinion, slightly ludicrous to suggest that he has 'affected' a singing voice. I suppose what the folk world really craves is yet another Martin Carthy clone. Let us celebrate Seth for his success and originality in a navel-gazing genre that, in truth, often does little to deserve new talent.
