Thread Name: Why aren't the Corries taken seriously
Subject: RE: Why aren't the Corries taken seriously
Guest Nick, for me, you have hit it exactly on the head.
Unfortunately there are an awful lot of smart-asses out there who love to put other artists down. Much of this I believe has to do with jealousy.
Can they do it themselves and have they been successful?
I am particularly referring to Colin J Stewart who claims he became an Uslter Champion at 17 and fronted several groups on guitar and lead vocals. That might be all true, but I have never heard of you and until I do hear some of your music I shall reserve judgement. Besides this does not give you the right to make such an attack on these very respected artists.
Furthermore, I can tell you as an experienced musician of over thirty years, one never speaks about other musicians in such derogatory terms on a public forum. You sound like a snotty little brat to me and the Corries have never deserved such ill-mannered comments.If you were someone who had a proven record, I might at least try to understand where you are coming from.
