I have had, from time to time, quite a lot to say on Mudcat.

It's just that people like David Hanson, so obsessed with begrudging the success of a young musician with vision and the passion to extend, share and diversify our traditional music inheritance, fails to listen or to recognise what I am saying.

As the Morning Star's folk music columnist in the years before Karl Dallas's tenure, I am amazed to be categorised as 'part of the Tory wing' of the folk music world.
