'singing with a mid-Atlantic/phoney American-accent'

I don't have a problem with this, and I love Billy Bragg's Love and Justice CD.

Actually Charlotte you probably have more in common than you think with our friend. Most of the BNP type bands sound more like Billy Bragg than Jackson Browne accent wise, the phoney baloney Landan accent is all the rage amongst the skinheads.

Also if you you think North to South - we are actually in the mid Atlantic. Why not a mid Atlantic accent. Think divergently, if you want to avoid the common idiocies.


I think theres something a bit nasty going on here anyway. Lakeman , Carthy, Rusby may not be your idea of folk music, but they are trying hard and they're musicians , not serial killers. They don't deserve all this snotty stuff.

And anyway, singing for Sam Larner was something he did when he wasn't arsing round catching fish. Those three have stated quite categorically - this is what they have done with their lives. Its not a bad thing, like crime or cruelty. Its is an honourable profession and as such worthy of respect.
