All,
Not part of the fame game, so I have no desire to enter a 'who can pee highest' competition with Martin C or anybody'.
I don't really have to justify my opinion of Martin (who I found a very nice bloke on the occasions I met him), but I am prepared to discuss my personal tastes in singing elsewhere and with anybody.
I am sure Martin has given a lot of people a lot of pleasure, but so has Charlotte Church, and she never fails to get right up my nose - sorry.
No Cap'n, Walter's nephew (Peter Bellamy's tutor) Roger Dixon, persuaded him to put his songs on tape in the first place; Walter needed no encouragement to perform his songs to a wider audience - duck to water.
