Good God we'll have Mike Sarne cited as a folk revivalist next!

The point I was making, without I hope detracting from the wonder of Norma's singing (there is a pretty-pretty version on the Imagined village of a broken token song I first heard from a Norma Waterson recording, and the difference is startling) was that for 20 years there has not been a contender for Martin Carthy's throne as best individual folk musician, whereas during the revival there were others of comparable status (and I forgot Alistair Anderson and Alex Atterson too).

It is sad to see Norma Waterson's health so fragile.
