I would like to endorse Bugsy's accolades for Bernard Carney. The Top End Folk Club here in Darwin has brought Bernard up from Perth for festivals on two or three occasions. He is great value - a versatile bloke indeed. In particular, he is a superlative guitarist, notably on ragtime pieces. His material can range from traditional, rounds, musical hall, his own compositions right through to rock if you wish. He has an easy-going rapport with an audience and is blessed with a laconic wit. Mudcatters in the UK should seize the opportunity to hear Bernard in person.--Stewie.
