how many of the groups that you mentioned Colin have written a unoffical anthem for Scotland or Ireland I'll tell you none.

So don't rubbish the Corries, I heard Paul Brady I thought what a load of crap, if it wasn't for the corries or the dubliners or the spinners, Paul brady prberly wouldn't be in the folk music business and neither would any of the other 'folk group's' that you mentioned.
