If Dick Miles was unaware that the review in the Irish Music Review under the name of James O'Donnell was the same one (and by the same author even though signed Geoff Wallis) as that which appeared in fRoots - and I believe he was as he had no reason (apart from similarities of style) to think otherwise at the time of posting - then just one word from member Geoff Wallis will clarify whether:

YES, he and James O'Donnell are the same person or
NO, they are not.

I am totally amazed at the artillery being wheeled in. There must surely be a plot but I don't know what it is (do I, Mr Jones).
