not many without folky affectations, in my opinion this performer is one who has much in coomon with uk traditional singers like harry cox and bob roberts, singers that delivered the goods.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kO_xmAUU3Sw
no disrespect to any other singers but i really enjoyed this

Thanks for posting that, an excellent quality video of two of my favourite performers.

A fair enough revival performance (including, typically of such, an overlong intro which had me practically gibbering with impatience, but perfectly competent when he at last got around to the bloody song!). But quite what resemblance of any sort you can find to any performance by Harry Cox, Dick, I can't for the life of me imagine.

An enjoyable performance after the overlong "rabbiting" pointed out by MtheGM. As for having something in common with Harry Cox, on the two or three occasions when I saw him he must have left his guitar at home.

i am taking about style of singing, simple unaffected delivery without ant affectations, both performers had that in common.,the fact that one sang unaccompanied and the other accompanied is irrelevant and not what i was remarking upon.
I found the introduction amusing and interesting

Martyn is a craftsman of the best.
Voice to die for, an amazing memory full of stories, a simple accompaniment - a joy.
(And lovely man to boot!!)
