I've got a lot of time for Daniel O'Donnel - he is a great populariser. He's what's missing from the English scene. Imagine if Cliff Richard sang a few folk songs.

He would have less trouble in communicating to a mass audience than English folksingers do.

You can say - that's not important. But I think more people should know our folksongs, and the present lot (myself included) are a turn off for the mainstream listener.
