Many can write the songs, but few can combine the writing, the singing, the personal touch and the audience approach that he has in spades. |

02 Oct 08 - 08:12 AM (#2455483) Subject: RE: Dan McKinnon From: GUEST,mauvepink I have had a chance to listen now to two of Dan's CD's and find them so Stan Rogers as to be uncanny. He has a lovely mellow voice and such great songs. There seems some gene connection in their voices and well worth listening to. I have no preference they are both THAT good. I will never be able to see Stan Rogers, though his Son is a possibility next year, but hope to be able to see/hear Dan some time. mp |

03 Oct 08 - 04:17 PM (#2456669) Subject: RE: Dan McKinnon From: GUEST,flatcap We booked him to headline our mini Festival at the www.opendoorfolkclub.co.uk based on hearing his cd. After what you guys have said, I'm more enthused than ever, It's on 12th October and we're near Oldham, but not too far from Manchester. |
