Aah hev te say that he's not my cup of tea but neither is Jim Moray but they ARE takin' the folk 'thing' forward - even if it diz sound like a pop song.

Remember the furore when Dylan went electric? People calling him 'Traitor' - Aah wez at Newcastle City Haall on that tour and wondered what the hell the whinge was aboot!

There wez a whole 'thing' about Steeleye Span electrifying 'trad' folk but it raised an awareness for thoosands what might not hev gone doon that road.

Aah've seen Seth Lakemen a few times when aah've been stage managing a concert here and there and hev thought "Aah wadn't buy a ticket for this gig" - but that's my preference and taste.

Ye cannit deny the fact that he's got a talent AND a followin'.

Shurrup and lerrim hev his fifteen minutes of fame coz next year he'll be Jim Moray!
