Oh dear..... Probably not a review they will want to put on their website! It seems that it was not the type of music the reviewer liked or perhaps understood. How many so-called "folk" bands don't use any amplification these days? Electric drumkits are a tad easier to cart around and I would think that the writer of "Shower The People" and "Steamroller Blues" was one of the greatest influences on Contemporary "Folk" music.
Anyway I certainly don't agree with the idea of performers being described as "crap" just because someone don't like 'em. My idea of Hell is a day of Bagpipes and Hurdygurdy's but I would not describe it as crap.
