' "Larner moment": Hearing the Songwainers one wet and cold October Sunday in a pub in Kettering, Midlands (UK), 1974 it was, I believe. '

That's a great term for it, George. I'm not sure if I was ever really lucky enough to have a live "Larner Moment", but it's really interesting to hear that yours was the Songwainers. I still don't really get them, despite several tries! Those bendy harmonies work for some people, but I just can't get on with them.

Having said that, I could listen to Peter Bellamy all day, and he's like nails on a chalkboard for some...
