Well with many of the names already mentioned this thread certainly proves,"you can fool some of the people some of the time", or, "there is no such thing as bad publicity". Anyway, here's my selection of "best" folksinger :- "On speaking terms with", Heather Heywood, Ray Fisher and Archie Fisher. "Talked to them once and taken a photo", Martin Carthy, Dick Gaughan, Vin Garbut, Norman Kennedy. "Watched,listened and enjoyed on stage" Lizzie Higgins, Willie Scott, Mary Dillon, Cathy Jordan, Ishbel MacAskill. cheers
