I thinks Vin's unique talent is doing such humorous introductions to such serious songs. Lot of people tell funny stories and then sing funny songs but very few can talk of suicide, for instance, in a light herted way and then sing songs like 'Lesley'.

One or two can beat him in having more intro than song though! I once saw a 2 hour Oldham Tinkers set where they only managed 6 songs. I had wet my draws when I left though:-)
