PS. All you Martin fans - if you haven't yet got the Carthy Chronicles cd & book set, get on to www.free-reed.co.uk right now (note it takes a minute or two). It's pricey, but a great folk document. And no, I'm not connected in any way, just a floor-singing fan and a lover of the tradition, for itself and for its basis for a lot of our contemporary music.
