tonyteach: Hi, I often wonder how many talented "Sons of Bert, John and Davy" emerged in the wake of those three innovators.
Certainly, Gordon Giltrap - I saw him at Les Cousins in his "singing days" - was an important one
Dave Evans was obviously coming out of Bert, and Dave Ellis ( I used to see him at Bunjies) was, again, very much influenced by Bert, John and Davy.
I imagine there were a few more real talents who never got wider recognition, or, at least, never came to my attention.
