Hi Chris

Richard Thompson is one of my all-time heroes and there ain't a lot of what he's done that I don't like. But no, not that. I really do like to hear him doing his own compositions that he wrote for Fairport e.g. Matty Groves (you don't get to hear that often, or The New St George (as opposed to the Albion Band version) - and especially stuff he co-wrote with Dave Swarbrick like O Be Thankful and Crazy Man Michael. See, I'm writing an RT featurette for you...

Re: singers in Welsh - well, you could always do a session with Mary Humphreys herself...
