Subject: RE: M. Carthy on The Critics Group - Radio 4
Brian Peters,I was around and I chose to go elsewhere, it might possibly have been a mistake.
I did meet EWAN, Furthermore I did a support for them[himself and Peggy]weds 11 nov 1988, phoenix art leicester.
I found that they were a bit out of touch with the then English Folk Revival, however they did a great set and were very well received.
I had previously booked them at my folk club in Bury St Edmunds , they were both courteous and professional and did an excellent spot, although Peggy seemed intimidated by my concertina playing.
On the previous occasion I met Ewan[1968 FARNINGHAM FOLK CLUB] , I could have happily punched him in his Hampsteads.
However I think i could have learned a lot from Ewan if I had attended the group, from both the songwriting and singing perspectives, but I prpbably was not mature enough to take criticism in an objective way
