I noticed from Mike H's snippets that John Tams is siinging in an American accent these days. And I thought - wot a good job John's in with the in crowd. otherwise, he'sd be getting the sort of grief I've had to put up with for the last thirty years.

Lets face it Tunesmith, you don't give a shit about English folk music - this is just about about defending the bailliewick of this little oligarchy of folksingers that you approve of.

Sunjay is English, but his Mum was Indian and his dad's half American. Why would his head be full of morris tunes and Sam Larner?

His imagined village isn't yours.
