Donovan deserves to be in the series as his songs are amongst the most popular sung in folk clubs - or didn't you notice?

he was pretty cool at the time - recording bert Jansch songs, taking a song with just solo guitar accompaniment into the top twenty (universal soldier), using the pick of Ronnie Scotts lads on Sunny Goodge Street.

not my favourite songwriter, but a creator of more memorable songs than many slobbered over as being 'in the tradition'.
