It would be very interesting if someone were to research the influence of Lloyd on the younger singers of the revival; get the reminiscneces down while they are still available. My impression is that the most influential singers of the revival, the Watersons and Ann Briggs, were partially under his control in terms of repertoire, approach etc. "Control" is perhaps the wrong word: more a light but crucial touch on the tiller now and again when needed. llyoyd was certainly a Communist and not averse to making changes to songs for ideological reasons, but he basically liked folksongs for themselves. The Watersons and Briggs classic repertoire, for example, was by no means Red. Far from it. "General Wolfe", "Fathom the Bowl" and "Blackwaterside" summed up that era as much, or more, than "THe Blackleg Miner".
