This is becoming really infuriating.

I will quote my answer already given on The Session site:

Dick, unlike you, I am *very* careful with my words. I wrote 'No shots of traditional musicians busking have ever appeared in any edition of the Ireland guide.' The photograph in question (in the 5th edition of the guide, published in 1999) features only two musicians, a double bass player and a snare drummer. I happen to be familiar with them, they weren't busking and they were playing rockabilly. The photograph was taken with their permission. I suggest you withdraw your comment and apologize.

I should remind you, Dick, that on a previous Mudcat thread some time ago you made a claim regarding the supposed publication of a particular photograph in an edition the Rough Guide to Ireland and were forced to withdraw said allegation when I pointed out that no such photograph had ever appeared in the book. You subsequently sent me an apologetic PM.

It would be equally gracious of you now to withdraw your comment above.
