I bought John Crisps album , 'A weekend in E.Anglia' 30 years ago and being a Norfolkman and true, loved it. Personally i have always thought John has never been recognised by the National Folk scene for the great singer and social commentator he is..... His Farmer on a Bike was written at a time when the old National Farm Workers Union was striking and fighting for fairer conditions , and to me and my family ( some of whome were striking) this song summed it all up. Much can be said the same of the Singing Postman , whos work was and is true East Anglian Folk song. I would like to ask John if he sees this, to please consider releasing WIEA on CD as it is a great Album , or equally importantly consider giving us the oppurtunity to hear him sing live.
