"No answers there then!"

What sort of answers were you hoping for P O'H?

And when you've received these hoped for answers what are you going to do with them?

Going back to L in C's original question, I thought that the Salford concert was a bit flat because it concentrated on MacColl the songwriter and not the MacColl the interpreter of tradional song and balladry. I don't deny that he was a songwriter of genius but he had an understanding of trad song which few of today's performers have - and that understanding fed into his written material. Although the concert featured a few trad. songs, I thought that they were a bit weak (apart from Peggy Seeger's stunning performance of 'Henry Lee' towards the end). There were far too many 'ideologically-pure,right-on, message-heavy, songs-what-I-have-wrote to earn me brownie points from the ideologically-pure songs' for my liking.
