I've always described myself as a singer of traditional songs (rather than a 'folk singer') and I reckon about 80-85% of my repertoire is traditional English material. There are a quite a few songs that I've no clear memory of where or from whom I learned them. Most likely I picked up the melody from hearing hearing them sung at clubs in southern England in the mid 60s/early 70s and then found the words in books or journals. The majority, though, were learned from records by revival singers and gently (and inadvertently) altered by me over the years.

My forthcoming CD (sic) has 13 tracks and 10 of them are traditional. The other three are 'Somewhere in America', 'Wings of the Sphinx' and 'A Place Called England.'
