Cap'n

You were equating an elderly countryman who played the fiddle with a professional performer who persistently turned up for gigs drunk- that's dishonest.
Unprofessional - isn't Pádraig O'Keefe dead - and you calling him unprofessional tsk - tsk.
I assume you support Brune's behaviour in getting Sheila Stweart excluded from The Travelling People - you didn't answer.
It's when I read of your support for squalids like Brune and Kennedy (though you did do a sharp U turn over the latter), that I realise that the choices of taste I made so long ago were the right ones - keep up the good work.
Nor did you answer my question on drinking adversly affecting performance, just as John didn't answer my question; what an enigmatic pair.
Anyway, that's enough mud-wreastling for one day, I'm off
