Hi Nick...Glad you like the CD and thanks for the kinds words above...but I have a whole new attitude now...which is.. SOD 'EM ALL! :0) :0) :0) I now have my 'Don't Let The B*astards Grind You Down Lizzie' T shirt on, metaphorically given to me by dear Scrump, Paul Gunningham, who's funeral it is today. Paul loved the music and he loved Show of Hands as well, he was a Longdog you know and was due to be seeing them at the Royal Albert Hall....He was a very kind man and I've since other stories from other people about how he left them such kind messages. Terribly sadly, he never made it to the RAH gig....but I'll keep on talking about the music that I LOVE for him amongst many reasons. And I'll do it in whatever way I want to, because it's my right to write as I so choose and to love the music as I so wish. And no mealy, mingey-minded b*astard is EVER going to get me to keep quiet again, or make me so darn down about things that I can't write! Show of Hands have done AMAZING things for Folk Music and I really don't give a damn if the Moaning Ones are miffed about that or not! Steve and Phil deserve to be written about with ENTHUSIASM, as do MANY MANY other artists and I WILL continue to do exactly that! If folk don't like what I write then DON'T read it! It's that simple! And I've my dear Sam and Scrump to thank for that attitude.... So I'll write....and write..and write...because this music is so important to me. It's important for many of us. Thanks for the kind words though, I ALWAYS appreciate kind words...xxxxx
