I agree with guest DB, Ewan MacCOLL. From the first time I heard him on a 10 inch LP called Shuttle and Cage when I was working down the pit as a 16 year old-came to it through the Union. Later on I came to know him and spent several weekends at his home researching folk songs for me to sing.I know thatmany people didn't like him but I always found him a warm and friendly gentleman and think that much of the anti-MacColl stuff was pure envy about a man who is still the best singer to come out of the British revival. After Ewan, Louis Killen, whose singing style I thought sounded similar to my own.Some 40 odd years later I'm still occasionally likened to Killen by some old codger and am still flattered by the comparision
