'FWIW, I also wasn't greatly keen on the singer in that clip, and the prospect of an entire evening of it would fill me with as much dread as it probably would Matthew Parris and Kim Howells. That's not a judgement on the song but the singer - it made my teeth itch like fingernails down a blackboard. Thankfully all folk singers don't sound like that'.

Mores the pity! Kevin is a superb singer - and I could listen to hours of his singing - (and indeed have done in the past) his choice of material,singing style, timing, etc. are magnigicent - IMNSHO !!
