Three points - I've not seen them live but I'm not that impressed by the YouTube clips. There's some nice ideas there but they don't persuade me to buy one of their CDs but I'll reserve judgement until I've had chance to see them. If EMI (or any other major) want to spend their money on a folk act then good luck to them, may they have enough success to persuade some more to follow suit. Some may quibble that "it's not the real thing" but gateways to the music are always needed and I'd rather the money came this way than into another X-Factor clone. Thirdly, putting your name to posts does seem to make for a more civilised discussion. Steve Ogden
