Why the fixation on 'Stars'? There are some pretty brilliant people around who generally don't do bookings or have no CD to immortalise them.

The first ever Folk Club I went to had as a regular singer - a retired civil servant - called Jack Sully. Jack wrote witty songs on contemporary life - and put them over beautifully. Jack was retirered by 1973 and it would be nice to know he's still around - but he would probably have given up singing by now!

Fast forward to now - and we have a lot of fine singers who are over 60 and may never get round to making that CD - so it really is important to hear them while we can.
