Nope, Phil said he preferred vitriol to niceness....

Course, I realise it's because he's been kidnapped by the Folk Intelligensia and they're threatening to burn his favourite violin unless he says these things......so I take no notice..

(naughty splutter)

I like Bellowhead...I ain't once 'compared' them to Show of Hands..I merely took a pop at the BBC for NOT having Show of Hands on their show AS WELL...if you read my first post...

Course, that won't enable you to lose it all over the place and try to kick me with Steve and Phil, but heyho....

The folk intelligensia are in this thread....they always are in Bellowhead threads...Of course, that's not Bellowhead's fault though...

I have Jon Boden's solo CD too..where he Went Electric! That's COOL. He does Brilliant Electric!

And I wrote about them when they appeared with Show of Hands at Abbotsbury a few years back...you know, with that other chappie...Jon Spiers..that's the fella..Gawd but they were good...And of course, when they joined Steve and Phil and Simon Emmerson for the first ever live performance of 'Roots' on that stage,well.....the whole of Dorset LIT UP!!    What a night that was, WHAT a song! WHAT a reception! The ENTIRE audience rose as one to 'Roots'..

Marvellous!
