WLD, did you not find Martin Simpson's "Little Musgrave" wholly rivetting?

And did you not find his "Never Any Good" had more than a little to say politically?

I cannot believe anyone would say that his guitarwork had little to say artistically, and his narration of "Musgrave" was IMHO masterly.

Also, whether or not I am greatly struck by Bella Hardy or by Bellowhead, surely you would accept that the spare, spare accompaniment for Bella Hardy, and the riot of sound for Bellowhead represent significant artistic statements, wouldn't you?
