I was sort of trashed as a folksinger by Alan Rose's review, in the Living Tradition, of the CD I recorded at Wildgoose with MCP – Alan said his problem was that I seemed to be a singer who sang folk songs rather than a folk-singer, unlike Tim Laycock, who had also recorded a mixture of trad and contemporary songs at Wildgoose. That was OK by me, really because my interest in folk music is to enjoy singing it, especially with friends, and to carry on the tradition of singing with friends. I've had no aspirations to earn a living from it, because I can earn a better living doing other things and singing is what I do outside work.
