I was looking for a good example of the type of thing I was trying to explain. I think I have found it. Listen to this bloke. He can carry a tune if you can bear to listen carefuly but it is a prime example of someone who has not done his homework and falls short of the 'minimum standard'. Now, I am by no means saying that we have this bloke on at our folk club regularly but I have seen plenty of similar standard here and there. Unfortunately these people realy do think they are good and, unfortunately, at folk clubs we have no Simon Cowell to put them straight!

Those who have never come across them should count their blessings!

Cheers
