Should have added that I first posted to Mudcat about four years ago under my erstwhile pseudonym to speak up for a new(ish) young performer and his first CD which was doing rather well, and geting a kicking from usual suspects for his pains.

I thought this might give me some sort of shit-proof umbrella-type protection from the baying pack from the antiquated 'f*lk' club brigade.

Hah! Didn't work, did it?

But that performer is now top of the game. Well, after Martin Carthy anyway.
