Hello Schantieman,
                  Reference 'The Ratcatcher's Daughter'. No, I never did sing that one. There was a time, when I was starting out on my career, just before the First World War, when I intended to do the 'cockney' bit, an incredibly rich, ethnic seam of folk music, but then I heard John Foreman (who's even older than me). I figured that there was only room for one, especially one so incredibly good at it, so I went in a different direction. What's happened to John? Where is he? I've heard nothing of him for years. Indeed, is he still with us?
   I've always found it strange that apart from the superb Cozmetheka, I can't think of any act on the Folk scene that worked within that genre. (Genre is a real word. I saw it in an old Guardian that I found).
