Jim,
I have the utmost respect for Maccoll as a writer and performer.
I am not carrying a grudge,but relating an incident,that I think illustrates that Ewans attitude .,and is relevant to the discussion in hand.
I bought an LP off him, he criticised my choice, because it was American folk songs.,I walked away[end of conversation].
I later booked Ewan/ Peggy at a folk club I ran,and also did a support act at their concert,we got on well.
