'Dallas and Irwin wielded enormous power' Hi Al, I've read a lot of Karl (Fred) Dallas's old articles recently. I think he was highly influential, especially during the 1960s, but he didn't half oscillate, especially regarding MacColl, who he was very scathing about at times. Martin Carthy, too, felt the force of his ire in the early 1970s, for the capital crime of vocal mannerism. If the Bellamy / KD article does surface, remember that PB disowned it, and wrote a long letter to Dallas, including an annotated photocopy of the pages from fRoots, telling him exactly what was wrong with it. I think the problem was in what KD chose to keep in and what to leave out, in the cause of a controversial narrative, rather than that he'd made up any quotes.
