Thread Name: Unthanks et al. Why begrudge success?
Subject: RE: Unthanks et al. Why begrudge success?
Unthanks: Lovely girls, as Father Ted once said (or was it Jack?) Liked them better as RU and the Winterset but perfectly bonny lasses singing songs old and new.

Kate Rusby: One doesn't hear Barnsley sung often enough to complain about it. Eats her crusts too. What's not to like?

Bellowhead: Anyone who puts a big band on the road in these straightened times is to be congratulated. Excellent musicians and a very good fun evening.

Show of Hands: Feels like a lecture. If I wanted a lecture I'd go to a university.

Jackie Oates: Lovely voice.

Eliza Carthy: Top bird, great voice, fine player, impeccable provenance.

Boden and Spiers: Marvellous. Done more for the tradition than most under 70s.

Did I miss anyone with a modicum of success?
