Sminky,
"if you dislike the work"
Sorry 'bout that - I find all their mannerisms and accompaniments intrusive and their performances samey.
If their work is a gauge of how well or badly the revival stands at present........ oh dear!
I think you'll find that Fred learned The Outlandish Knight traditionally (didn't he live over or next to a pub were singing went on). It was certainly recorded from him by the BBC in the '50s.
On the other hand, I believe around half the songs included on his EFDSS cassette 'In Course of Time....' were learned via the revival.

More later - the moss-ridden, rush covered acre which we lovingly refer to as a garden requires a bit of mouth-to-mouth before it starts pissing with rain again
