Seth's dad was a journalist on the Express. Believe it or not, he was in a folk duo with Alistair Campbell - yes he of No10 Spin fame - when they were both young journos. At one time you could catch Mum and Dad and the 3 boys. All 3 currently make a living from "folk" which is a blooming hard thing to do. Seth has a new PR person who, I understand, works him rather harder than he has been hitherto used to. I have a couple of his albums, which I enjoy listening to from time to time, but I am very ambivalent about his contribution to folk. But then, the few people who know me are ambivalent about mine. dj
