Yup!

You all heard me correctly!

I am sitting here listening to it as I write this....FINALLY!!!!! FINALLY they've twigged!

Isn't it wonderful! Glory Halleluliah!! They've finally realised that our folk singers and songs are as MUCH of a National Treasure as the houses of the rich and wealthy!!

And...IT'S BLOODY MARVELLOUS!! :0)

My only grumble would be that there aren't enough of the 'youngsters' on there, no Jackie Oates or Jim Causley or Mawkin of Jim Moray and when they've actually got some artists appearing twice, well, they should of been on there...

And of course WHERE are Show of Hands??????????????

Ho Hum...

But, at least this is still really great news...and it's a really great CD

ALL that for just £10!!!!

I can't recommend it highly enough...
