I'm still not sure what you're after

Just a bit of credit where it's due to the otherwise unsung footsoldiers of The Revival who've never received a penny for their efforts, for whatever reason. I'm thinking of people like Derek Brinkley who for a number of years was a mainstay of the Durham City Folk Club with a repertoire equalled by both his authority and passion for The Tradition. I've met similar people over the years and continue to do so wherever I fetch up on my travels; amazing singers, with amazing songs, who are, to me, what this music is all about.

I'm a big fan of Jim Eldon too by the way; maybe I'll go and refresh my Jim Eldon Appeciation Society thread after this...
