Hi, Lin, I started off being very traditional, my hero being Martin Carthy. I saw a lot of the traditional folks at the MSG in Manchester, and we're talking the '60's and '70's here. Since then, I have been hooked on Fairport and Steeleye span. I love to sing their stuff, but I'm not a good guitarist. Maddy Prior, Sandy Denny and June Tabor are my role models. I like to sing a capella, and the songs I play have to have easy chords, specially now my fingers are a bit arthritic.
